Committee Recommendations (1)

05 Aug 20 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee recommends Patiromer as a treatment option for the treatment of Hyperkalaemia in adults in line with NICE TA623 in emergency care for acute life threatening hyperkalaemia or for patients with persistent hyperkalaemia (in line with NICE thresholds).

Patiromer will be considered RED on the traffic light system in all cases.

Primary care prescribers should ensure that patient medication records include any medicine for which prescribing remains the responsibility of secondary or tertiary care. This will ensure that GP records, which are accessed by other healthcare providers, are a true and accurate reflection of the patient’s medication.
