Calcium Polystyrene Sulphonate 15 gm Powder is a cation-exchange resin used in the management of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood). It works by binding excess potassium in the intestine and removing it from the body through feces, thereby helping to restore normal potassium balance. Hyperkalemia is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and certain cardiac or metabolic disorders. Elevated potassium levels can lead to serious complications such as irregular heart rhythms, muscle weakness, or cardiac arrest. Calcium Polystyrene Sulphonate helps reduce these risks by safely lowering serum potassium levels. This medication is typically prescribed for patients with renal impairment or those on medications that may increase potassium levels. It is usually administered under medical supervision, especially in patients with underlying heart or kidney conditions.
