Calcium Resonium (containing Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate) is a high-performance cation-exchange resin indicated for the treatment of hyperkalaemia (elevated potassium levels in the blood). Specifically designed for patients with acute or chronic renal failure, Calcium Resonium works by swapping calcium ions for potassium ions as it passes through the digestive tract. It is an essential therapy for preventing the dangerous cardiac arrhythmias and muscular weakness associated with high serum potassium, providing a reliable non-systemic solution for electrolyte stabilization.
Using Calcium Resonium as part of a medically supervised renal or metabolic care plan offers several targeted therapeutic benefits:
Effectively Lowers Serum Potassium: Specifically targets the removal of excess potassium from the body via the intestinal tract.
Essential for Renal Patients: Provides a critical clinical intervention for individuals with impaired kidney function who cannot excrete potassium effectively.
Prevents Cardiac Emergencies: Rapidly lowers potassium levels to protect the heart from life-threatening rhythm disturbances.
Non-Systemic Action: The resin itself is not absorbed into the bloodstream, acting purely within the lumen of the gut for maximum safety.
Versatile Administration: Can be administered both orally and rectally, allowing for clinical flexibility in various patient settings.
Calcium Resonium Powder (Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate) is manufactured by Sanofi, a world-renowned, research-driven pharmaceutical leader based in France. Produced in state-of-the-art, GMP-compliant facilities that adhere to the strictest international safety and quality standards, Sanofi ensures that every container of Calcium Resonium meets rigorous criteria for ion-exchange capacity, purity, and clinical stability. At Sanlive Pharmacy, we source Calcium Resonium directly from verified Sanofi distributors to ensure our patients in Nigeria receive authentic, high-standard medication for their renal health.
Calcium Resonium utilizes a targeted ion-exchange mechanism for electrolyte regulation:
Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate: A fine, insoluble resin that releases calcium ions in exchange for potassium ions, primarily in the large intestine.
High Potassium Affinity: Formulated to selectively bind potassium, ensuring the efficient removal of excess electrolytes through the stool.
To achieve optimal results with Calcium Resonium Powder, follow these guidelines:
Suggested Oral Dosage: The standard adult dose is 15g three to four times daily. The powder should be stirred into a small amount of water or syrup (about 3–4 ml per gram of powder).
Suggested Rectal Dosage: In acute cases, 30g may be administered as a retention enema, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Administration: Do not mix the powder with fruit juices (like orange juice) that are high in potassium, as this will neutralize the medication’s effect.
Timing: For oral use, it is best taken at least 3 hours before or after other oral medications to prevent interference with their absorption.
Important Safety Note: Calcium Resonium must be used under strict medical supervision with regular monitoring of serum electrolytes (potassium, calcium, and magnesium). Do not use if you have a bowel obstruction or conditions associated with hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels). Constipation is a common side effect; ensure adequate monitoring to prevent fecal impaction. If you experience severe abdominal pain or rectal bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.
As a trusted provider of healthcare products in Nigeria, Sanlive Pharmacy ensures you receive only the best:
100% Genuine Products: Sourced from Sanofi-verified distributors with guaranteed potency and origin.

International Shipping: We also ship abroad to London, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Europe, ensuring our products reach you wherever you are.
Professional Support: Get expert advice and quick ordering via our WhatsApp support line.
Because the resin releases calcium in exchange for potassium, some absorption of calcium can occur. Your doctor will perform regular blood tests to ensure your calcium levels remain within a safe range.
The potassium-lowering effect typically begins within a few hours of administration, though it may take 12 to 24 hours to reach peak effectiveness.
