Resonium A is a medication primarily used in the treatment of hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of potassium in the blood. It is a sodium polystyrene sulfonate that works by exchanging sodium ions for potassium ions in the large intestine, thereby facilitating the removal of excess potassium from the body through feces. This ion exchange mechanism helps in lowering the potassium levels in the blood, making it an effective option for managing and preventing the complications associated with hyperkalemia. Resonium A is typically administered orally or rectally, depending on the patient's condition and the severity of hyperkalemia. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding the use of Resonium A to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize potential side effects.
