What is Kionex?
“Kionex” is a brand name for sodium polystyrene sulfonate, a medication used to treat high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). It works by exchanging sodium for potassium in the gastrointestinal tract, helping reduce blood potassium. [1]
When is Kionex used?
Clinicians use potassium binders like sodium polystyrene sulfonate when someone has hyperkalemia and needs potassium lowered. [1]
How does Kionex work?
Sodium polystyrene sulfonate is designed to bind potassium in the gut so potassium is removed from the body through the stool, lowering serum potassium levels. [1]
