Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Lokelma Overview
Lokelma is used to treat high levels of potassium in the blood. It works by binding to potassium in the gut. Lokelma does not work right away, and should not be used to treat life-threatening high levels of potassium. High potassium levels can cause symptoms such as nausea, muscle weakness/tiredness, irregular heartbeats, or paralysis.
How to Use Lokelma
Take Lokelma by mouth as directed by your doctor. If you are taking other medications, take them at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking Lokelma. Your doctor may direct you to start taking Lokelma 3 times a day for the first 48 hours, then decrease to once daily, or once every other day. Patients on dialysis should only take Lokelma on non-dialysis days. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. The Dosage of Lokelma is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Your doctor will order blood tests to monitor your response to Lokelma. Lokelma must be mixed before taking. Open the packet and pour the contents into a drinking glass with about 3 tablespoonfuls or more (45 milliliters or more) of water. Stir, then drink the mixture right away. If there is any powder left in the glass, add more water, stir and drink again. Repeat until no powder is left in the glass to make sure you take all of it. Use Lokelma regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
