Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate Powder.

Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate powder is a potassium-lowering drug used to treat hyperkalemia in adults. It is suitable for patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure. This drug is not absorbed or metabolized by the human body, is insoluble in water, and does not swell when exposed to water. It is well tolerated by the digestive tract. Long-term treatment has little effect on the concentration of sodium, magnesium, and calcium in the body, and can be used to control blood potassium levels for a long time. At the same time, after blood potassium drops to the normal range, the potassium-lowering effect of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate tends to be flat, and the risk of hypokalemia is low.
