Kalco 10Ml Amp (50X10 Ml) Potassium Chloride By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Potassium chloride is used to prevent or treat low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalaemia). Low potassium may occur due to certain illnesses, medicines such as diuretics, or fluid loss.

How does it work?
It replaces potassium in the body. Potassium is needed for normal nerve, muscle and heart function.

How to take/use it
Use only as prescribed or directed on the product label. Instructions vary by formulation. Oral products are usually taken with or after food and plenty of water to reduce stomach irritation. Do not crush or chew modified-release tablets unless instructed. Do not take more than recommended.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Oral products may irritate the stomach or digestive tract.

Precautions
Do not use without medical advice if there is kidney disease, high potassium levels, heart disease or adrenal gland problems. Tell the doctor about medicines being taken, especially potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or potassium-containing salt substitutes. Seek medical help for severe weakness, tingling, confusion, an irregular heartbeat, severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood or black stools.
