Kalimate Oral Solution 20% 25g×100Pac. To Kidney function Reduce potassium
When kidney function deteriorates, potassium cannot be excreted adequately. As a result, potassium in the blood increases, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, numbness in the limbs, anxiety, and in some cases, arrhythmia, which can be dangerous.
This medicine absorbs potassium in the intestines and excretes it with the stool. Since potassium absorption is suppressed, the amount of potassium in the blood decreases. It is mainly used to treat hyperkalemia due to renal failure.
