Additional Information for Potassium Chloride Extended-Release Capsules
Potassium Chloride Extended-Release Capsules are a type of medication that contains potassium chloride in a controlled-release formulation. They are classified under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Potassium chloride is a mineral supplement used to prevent or treat low levels of potassium in the blood, a condition known as hypokalemia. It is essential for the proper functioning of various bodily processes, including nerve and muscle function, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating heart rhythm.
The extended-release formulation of potassium chloride allows for a slow and steady release of the medication over an extended period of time. This helps to maintain a consistent level of potassium in the blood and reduces the risk of side effects associated with rapid potassium supplementation.
Potassium Chloride Extended-Release Capsules are commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals to individuals with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, heart failure, or those taking certain medications that can deplete potassium levels.
It is important to note that Potassium Chloride Extended-Release Capsules should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, and the dosage may vary depending on the individual's specific needs. It is also crucial to follow any dietary restrictions or guidelines provided by the healthcare provider while taking this medication.
As with any medication, there can be potential side effects or interactions with other medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before starting or making any changes to your medication regimen.
