Evaluation of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate usage for hyperkalaemia secondary to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim therapy

Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate was efficacious at lowering elevated potassium in patients receiving sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim therapy without inducing hypokalaemia. This suggests sodium zirconium cyclosilicate may be considered in patients with treatment-limiting hyperkalaemia due to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, especially when sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is preferred therapy.
