Patiromer is supplied as patiromer sorbitex calcium which consists of the active moiety, patiromer, a non-absorbed potassium-binding polymer, and a calcium-sorbitol counterion. Each gram of patiromer is equivalent to a nominal amount of 2 grams of patiromer sorbitex calcium. The chemical name for patiromer sorbitex calcium is cross-linked polymer of calcium 2-fluoroprop-2-enoate with diethenylbenzene and octa-1,7-diene, combination with D-glucitol. Patiromer sorbitex calcium is an amorphous, free-flowing powder that is composed of individual spherical beads.

Lilly gets second approval, in Japan, for Alzheimer's drug

Eli Lilly's Alzheimer's drug Kisunla (donanemab) gains approval in Japan, following US FDA approval in July. Kisunla targets early symptomatic Alzheimer's, showing significant cognitive decline reduction in the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 study. Japan's aging population makes it a key market, with dementia cases expected to reach 5 million by 2030, mostly Alzheimer's. Lilly emphasizes Kisunla's cost-effectiveness due to fixed treatment duration.
