Frequently asked questions

How would I know if I have high potassium level?

Your doctor will check your blood potassium levels periodically to detect high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). Make sure that you do not miss any future appointments with the doctor.

Are there any medicines to avoid while we take K-Bind Powder?

Yes, before taking the medicine inform your prescribing doctor if you are taking antacids containing aluminium or magnesium salts, a heart disorder medicine like digoxin, magnesium hydroxide or aluminium carbonate which are used as laxatives. Additionally, the doctors should be informed about any history of use of medicines like thyroxine tablets or lithium for mania or bipolar disorder. Concomitant use of sorbitol is not recommended.

Does K-Bind Powder cause damage to the gut?

No, it does not damage your gut when prescribed for certain conditions. However, in some cases it can lead to gut damage if you take this medication along with sweetener like sorbitol (used to sweeten food). Using these together can cause narrowing of the gut wall and reduced blood flow to the gut wall. This may cause severe damage to your gut. Therefore, you should avoid using any sorbitol containing food while you take K-Bind Powder.
