Sodium polyphenylsulfonate is a drug used to treat hyperkalemia. It is an anion exchange resin that binds excess potassium ions in the body by exchanging sodium ions in the body to help excrete it. This helps reduce potassium ion levels in the blood, thereby preventing or treating problems caused by hyperkalemia. Most often, sodium polyphenylsulfonate is taken by mouth with water, usually after a meal. When using this medicine, read the instructions for use provided by your doctor or pharmacist carefully and use it as directed. You should maintain adequate fluid intake while taking it to help the effects of the drug. In addition, avoid taking it with other drugs at the same time to avoid affecting the efficacy of the drug. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a doctor or professional medical professional in time.
How to use: POLYSTYRENE SULPHONATE is a medicine that treats hyperkalemia, usually taken by mouth. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach and mix it with water before drinking. Avoid taking it with aluminum products, such as stomach medicines with high aluminum content. High-potassium foods such as bananas and oranges should be avoided while taking it.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 15-60 grams, taken in 2-4 times daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on serum potassium levels, but a single dose should not exceed 15 grams. For children, dosage is based on age and weight and is recommended to be determined by a physician. Children's doses are usually lower than adults and should be used strictly as directed by your physician.
Remember, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication to ensure proper use and avoid adverse reactions.
POLYSTYRENE SULPHONATE is a drug used to treat high potassium levels, but it may cause some side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Some users may experience allergic skin reactions such as rash or itching. In rare cases, POLYSTYRENE SULPHONATE may also cause serious side effects such as electrolyte imbalance or intestinal obstruction. If you develop severe discomfort or persistent side effects, seek medical advice immediately and tell your doctor that you are using this medication. Remember to use your medication as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, and do not adjust your dose or stop using it yourself.

Polystyrene sulphate is a drug used to treat high blood potassium, but in some cases it can cause serious side effects in patients when used. Here are some situations to avoid when using Polystyrene sulphate:
1. Allergic reactions: Patients who are allergic to Polystyrene sulphate should avoid using this drug. It may cause severe allergic reactions, including skin redness and swelling, difficulty breathing, and even shock.
2. Intestinal obstruction: Patients with intestinal obstruction or perforation of the intestinal wall should not use Polystyrene sulphate, as the drug may aggravate these conditions and lead to more serious health problems.
3. Hypokalemia: If the patient already has hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels), polystyrene sulphate should be avoided as this may cause the blood potassium to drop further, leading to risks such as heart problems.
4. High-sodium diet: During treatment with Polystyrene sulphate, patients should avoid high-sodium diet, because high sodium intake may affect the efficacy of the drug and increase the body's absorption of sodium.
In summary, allergic reactions, intestinal obstruction, hypokalemia, and high-sodium diet should be avoided when using Polystyrene sulphate to ensure patient safety and health. Before using any medication, patients should consult a physician or pharmacist to ensure appropriate use and to avoid possible contraindications.
Note on use: This drug is mainly used to treat hyperkalemia and should be used under the guidance of a physician. Please follow your doctor's advice and do not change the dosage or taking method without authorization. During use, you should pay close attention to your body's reactions and inform your doctor immediately if any adverse reactions occur. When storing, keep it out of reach of children and avoid direct sunlight.
