Where can I purchase Kayexalate, or sodium polystyrene sulfonate? I have Stage IV CKD and have used this product for years receiving it from Sonfi-Adventis through their Patient Assistance Program. They have stopped providing that saying their is a generic. If there is a generic, what is the name?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I must advise you not to go around searching for Kayexalate. If it's not available, report to your nephrologist, and a dialysis will be done. The excess potassium is cleared by dialysis and is also safer than Kayexalate. With end stage renal failure(ESRF/CKD), any rise in potassium(hyperkalemia), must be controlled early. Also be careful to avoid potassium rich foods, like fresh fruits, ripe bananas, coconut water, etc. If you want my expert opinion, you may send it as a direct question.  Chat Doctor.  Manga.
