Should be taken with food.
Contraindications
Potassium Chloride (K-Lyte) is contraindicated to the patients who are hypersensitive to Potassium salts. Potassium supplements are contraindicated in patients receiving Potassium sparing diuretics (e.g. Spironolactone, Triameterene) since such use may produce severe hyperkalemia.
Special Precautions
The treatment of Potassium depletion, particularly in the presence of cardiac disease, renal disease or acidosis, requires careful attention to acid-base balance and appropriate monitoring of serum electrolytes, the ECG, and the clinical status of the patients.
Adverse Reactions
One of the severe side effects is hyperkalemia. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Drug Interactions
Concurrent use of Potassium and Potassium retaining diuretics is very likely to result in hyperkalemia. ACE inhibitors and Potassium have been reported to cause hyperkalemia during the therapy of heart failure. β-adrenoceptor blockers increase the risk of hyperkalemia when given with Potassium supplements.
Storage
Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C. Protect from light.
