For Hyperkalemia "I've never heard of ”high potassium” or Hyperkalemia as this condition is called! I felt increasing bad for several months with having sudden loss of motor skills such as catching myself before falling, my entire body was ”wet” with perspiration and clammy even if I was laying down. I kept pushing myself through it and doing what mothers do; until I had zero ability to move anything but my neck after laying down to recoup myself. After an ambulance, a triage of doctors, blood tests to find out why I was completely coherent but had no motor capabilities they found my blood potassium at 9.2! I know now I was as near to a heart attack, kidney failure, and/or dialysis as nobody expected especially me! This potassium medication has literally saved my life and there isn't a real reason why I need this medication. It’s a matter of life & death that I take it exactly as prescribed with bloodwork frequently! There isn't an alternative to this type of drug-like it or not."

For Hyperkalemia "Had extremely high potassium, I have CKD Stage 4, the Doctor had blood drawn, called in this prescription. I was a bit hesitant to take it because of all the "side effects". I then decided to take because I was feeling really bad, heart was palpitating, nausea, nose bleeding. The morning after the 1st dose I felt much better, no "trots" to the bathroom, the next morning after taking this medication I felt WONDERFUL!!!! I have not felt this good in over a year. To anyone who has high potassium, and needs to get it down, TAKE THIS MED, IT IS A LIFESAVER!"

For Hyperkalemia "It was either a dose of Kionex oral Susp, or a trip to ER. The medication was a little chalk like but The flavor of raspberry quickly redeemed the quality of the product. Take it as directed from your physician. Important information such as your Potassium levels are important and if it is your first time can be scary. Know by research..... learn what you can do first..... it is a matter of life or death."

For Hyperkalemia "It works to reduce potassium but it does so by inducing 6-8 hours of severe diarrhea. You can't leave the house, can't sleep, and are lucky if you can leave the bathroom."
