Product Information / Press Release PRESCRIBED FOR: Low potassium conditions (hypokalemia) occur when the amount of potassium lost in the kidneys or intestines exceeds the amount of potassium taken in. This usually occurs slowly with the use of diuretics. However, it can also occur in diabetic ketoacidosis, severe diarrhea, conditions wherein the patient is receiving IV fluids and not eating, and rare disorders of the adrenal glands. Potassium chloride is used to treat hypokalemia and to prevent hypokalemia from occurring when strong diuretics are used. Potassium can also be used to treat digitalis toxicity.
DOSING: Potassium is usually taken with meals and fluids to prevent intestinal problems.
STORAGE: Potassium should be stored at room temperature in a tight container.
