powder for oral\/rectal\u00a0suspension
sodium polystyrene sulfonate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium is a so-called ion exchanger, which during the passage in the gastrointestinal tract binds\u00a0potassium\u00a0in exchange for\u00a0sodium.\u00a0The powder is not absorbed into the body but only passes through the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium is used to lower elevated levels of potassium in the blood. Excessive levels of potassium can lead to heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use of Resonium requires regular blood tests, as it is important that potassium levels are not reduced too quickly and that the balance of other salts such as calcium and magnesium is not disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium should not be given orally to newborns and not at all to newborns with impaired bowel function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take special care with Resonium:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitant use with sorbitol is not recommended as there is a risk of serious gastrointestinal side effects that may damage the intestinal tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium can affect the effect of medicines taken by mouth and should therefore be taken either at least 3 hours before or 3 hours after other medication. If you have delayed gastric emptying (so-called gastroparesis), there should be 6 hours between the use of Resonium and other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitant use with sorbitol is not recommended due to the risk of serious gastrointestinal side effects that may cause tissue damage to the intestine.\u00a0Deaths due to gastrointestinal side effects when used concomitantly have been reported.\u00a0The reports refer to cases where sorbitol has been used as a\u00a0laxative.\u00a0There is no information on sorbitol used as an additive (sweetener) in medicines and foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The effect of Resonium can be affected by certain medicines for acid stomach (antacids) and certain medicines for constipation (\u00a0laxatives\u00a0).\u00a0The use of Resonium may affect the effect of medicines containing\u00a0digoxin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combination with thyroid hormones or lithium may require dose adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but there is no data on its use during pregnancy and lactation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No known effect on the ability to drive or perform precision work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine contains 1.7 g of\u00a0sodium\u00a0(the main ingredient in table salt\/table salt) per\u00a0dose.\u00a0This corresponds to 85% of the maximum recommended daily intake of\u00a0sodium\u00a0for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need to take Resonium daily for an extended period, especially if you have been prescribed a low-salt diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dose one should be determined by a doctor, who will adjust it individually for you with careful control of the salt balance. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resonium should be ingested to avoid the risk of inhalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The usual\u00a0dose\u00a0for adults:<\/em>\u00a01 ironed dose (approx. 15 g) 3-4 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The preparation is taken stirred in a little water or porridge, juice, or jam.\u00a0Can also be taken as an enema, which must then be retained for the time specified by the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dosage measurements are included in the package. A coated dosage measure holds about 15 g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resonium should not be taken at the same time as other oral medicines. See section \u201cOther medicines and Resonium\u201d for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overdose can cause symptoms of salt balance disorders, such as irritability, confusion, delayed thinking, muscle weakness, weakened reflexes, and in some cases paralysis symptoms.\u00a0Respiratory arrest is a possible serious consequence of this development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a forgotten\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provided that the salt balance in the body is not disturbed, the\u00a0side effect\u00a0consists almost exclusively of difficulty in swallowing the fairly large amount of stirred powder, or in achieving sufficient variation in food\/drink for mixing the powder, so that in the long run it does not become nauseating. Common\u00a0side effects\u00a0(more than 1 person in 100 affected): Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not store above 25 \u00b0 C. Store in the original package. Moisture sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the label after “EXP”. The expiration date is the last day of the specified month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Resonium is stirred into water, this preparation should be used within 24 hours. Heating should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Light brown powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pack size: Plastic jar containing 450 g powder for oral\/rectal\u00a0suspension, and dosage measure that holds about 15 g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanofi AB, Box 30052, 104 25 Stockholm<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanofi-Synthelabo Ltd., Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom<\/p>\n\n\n\n and<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanofi Winthrop Industry, Amilly, France<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Resonium is a so-called ion exchanger, which during the passage in the gastrointestinal tract binds potassium in exchange for sodium .
