📋Overview
Lokelma is a medication used to help manage elevated levels of potassium in the blood, a condition known as hyperkalemia. It works by binding to potassium in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the body to remove excess potassium more effectively. Hyperkalemia can occur in people with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or those taking certain medications. Lokelma is typically associated with the ongoing management of potassium balance in these populations.
