Lokelma for Hyperkalemia Reviews
"I’ve taken Lokelma for one month and it lowered my potassium from 5.9 to 3.8. No side effects that I’m aware of. I’ve tried severely restricting (500mg daily)my potassium intake for years and it didn’t help. After a month of 10mg Lokelma, I’m a big fan! The powder is a bit hard to dissolve but I find it has no taste at all. Kind of like chalky water. Thankful to God for a more normal life with Lokelma!"
"I was hyperalkemic so my physician prescribed Lokelma. It was not a pleasant or successful treatment. First trying to drink the slurry the powder produced was was awful. It upset my stomach to the point that I vomited. I continued to try using Lokelma for approximately 10 days. Things didn’t get better so I stopped taking Lokelma and told the doctor I’d never take it again, and I haven’t."
