Consumer:By lowering potassium levels in the blood, sodium polystyrene sulfonate may increase sensitivity of the heart to the effects of digoxin. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Let your doctor know if you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, constipation, abdominal cramping, confusion, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, numbness or tingling, or rapid heart beat, as these may be early symptoms of low potassium blood levels. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs and symptoms that may indicate excessive effects of digoxin, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, visual disturbances (blurred vision; light halos around objects; green or yellow vision), or an abnormally fast or slow or uneven heartbeat. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Cation exchange resins may increase the risk of precipitating hypokalemia and cardiotoxic effects when administered to a patient also receiving cardiac glycosides. The mechanism is the pharmacologic action of exchange resins (increased potassium excretion).
MANAGEMENT: Serum potassium levels should be closely monitored if these agents must be coadministered.
