What is potassium chloride (Klor-Con) prescribed for?
Potassium chloride is prescribed to prevent and treat hypokalemia, or low blood potassium. This includes low potassium in people taking diuretics (water pills) or digitalis, and in those with a condition called hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis. It replaces potassium your body needs for normal nerve, muscle, and heart function.
What are the most common side effects of potassium chloride?
Stomach and digestive upset is the most common issue, and taking it with food and a full glass of liquid helps. Solid extended-release tablets can, less commonly, irritate the GI tract and cause ulcers, bleeding, or blockage, so swallow them whole and do not crush or chew them. The most serious risk is high blood potassium (hyperkalemia), which can cause muscle weakness, tingling, and irregular heartbeat. Contact your provider about any concerning symptoms.
Can you take potassium chloride on an empty stomach?
It is best taken with meals and a full glass of water or other liquid. Taking it with food and plenty of fluid reduces stomach irritation and lowers the chance that a tablet lingers against the digestive lining. Follow the directions on your prescription label and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Who should not take potassium chloride?
People who already have high blood potassium (hyperkalemia) should not take it. It should also be used with caution, or avoided, by people taking potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or aldosterone blockers, and by those with kidney impairment, because these raise the risk of dangerously high potassium. Your doctor decides whether it is safe for you and will monitor your potassium levels.
What foods and medications should you avoid while taking potassium chloride?
Avoid combining it with potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone, and use caution with ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and aldosterone blockers, which all can push potassium too high. Be careful with salt substitutes and potassium-rich supplements unless your doctor approves, since they add extra potassium. Always give your prescriber a full list of your medications and supplements so your potassium can be kept in a safe range.
