Veltassa Brand 8.4g 30 sachets

Description

Veltassa (generic name: patiromer) is prescribed to treat adults with hyperphosphatemia (high levels of potassium in the blood). Veltassa binds to potassium in the gut before it can be absorbed and prevents the potassium from reaching the bloodstream.

Dosage

Veltassa is a powder in single-dose sachets containing 8.4 mg of patiromer sorbitex calcium. Follow the instructions from the prescribing healthcare provider and guidelines printed on the patient instruction leaflet included in the package.

If one dose is missed, take it as soon as possible on the same day. Do not double-dose the following day to compensate for the missed dose. If more than one dose has been missed in succession, contact a doctor immediately.

Caution: Valpressa contains sorbitol. If you are sensitive to this substance, make sure that the prescribing doctor or pharmacist is aware before starting treatment.
