Description Drug

Potassium is needed to maintain good health. Although a balanced diet usually supplies all the potassium a person needs, potassium supplements may be needed by diseaseds who do not have enough potassium in their regular diet or have lost too much potassium because of illness or treat with certain medication.

There is no evidence that potassium supplements are useful in the treat of high blood pressure.

Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.

Injectable potassium is aplaying only by or under the supervision of your family doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you must take potassium supplements only if directed by your family doctor. Potassium supplements are available with your family doctor's prescription in the following dosage forms:
