Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension 5g 30s
RM 1772.50
Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension 5g is a prescription-only medication belonging to the class of potassium binders, and its active ingredient is sodium zirconium cyclosilicate — a compound specifically designed to work within the gastrointestinal tract. It comes as a convenient powder that you mix with water before drinking, making it relatively straightforward to prepare at home. Like most medications, Lokelma can cause some side effects, and the ones most worth knowing about include swelling (oedema), low potassium levels (hypokalaemia), abdominal discomfort, and nausea — so it's always important to take it exactly as your doctor has directed. If you're wondering whether this medicine is right for you, how to get it safely, or what to expect when taking it, you're in the right place — we've put together everything you need to know in a clear and honest way.
Lokelma Powder should be mixed with approximately 240 mL (about a full glass) of water, stirred well until the powder is evenly suspended, and then drunk immediately — do not allow the mixture to sit, as the powder will settle. It is typically taken orally, and the suspension should be prepared fresh each time you take a dose. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions regarding timing, especially in relation to meals or other medications.
The commonly recommended starting dose for adults is 10g taken three times daily for up to 48 hours, followed by a maintenance dose of 5g once daily, which your doctor may adjust based on your potassium levels and individual response. Always follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider, as self-adjusting your dose without medical guidance can be unsafe.
Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension 5g generally has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and kept in its original, unopened packaging. Always check the expiry date printed on the sachet and outer carton before use, and never take the medication if it has passed its expiry date. Once the sachet has been opened, the powder should be used immediately and any unused portion should be discarded safely.
Store Lokelma sachets at room temperature, below 30°C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the sachets in their original packaging until you are ready to use them, and ensure they are stored out of reach of children and pets at all times. Do not store this medication in the bathroom or near areas with high humidity, such as above the kitchen sink, as moisture can affect the integrity of the powder.
The active ingredient in Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension 5g is:
Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate 5g per sachet
This is a non-absorbed, inorganic compound that acts as a selective cation exchanger within the gastrointestinal tract. Each sachet contains 5g of this active substance, along with pharmaceutical-grade excipients that help form the suspension when mixed with water.
