By PPN News Staff

The FDA recently removed the boxed warning regarding the use of other drugs with the oral potassium binder, patiromer (Veltassa, Relypsa).

Instead, the agency recommended patients take patiromer at least three hours before or three hours after other oral medications. The separation time between administration of patiromer and other oral medications has changed from at least six hours to at least three hours.
