Patiromer is a non-absorbed, cation exchange polymer that contains a calcium-sorbitol complex as a counterion. Patiromer increases faecal potassium excretion through binding of potassium in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. Binding of potassium reduces the concentration of free potassium in the gastrointestinal lumen, resulting in a reduction of serum potassium levels. |
