Electro K works by raising potassium levels in your blood.
Quick Tips
- The concentration of intravenous infusion solution should not exceed 3.2 g (43 mmol)/l.
- Do not take potassium chloride if you have kidney, heart problems, high blood pressure or high blood potassium level.
- Avoid using potassium chloride, if you have Addison disease (adrenal gland disorder); severe tissue injury such as burn; severe dehydration, blockage of stomach or intestine or diarrhea from long time.
Brief Description
Indication
Hypokalemia, Electrolyte replenisher
Administration
Should be taken with food.
Adult Dose
Oral
Prophylaxis of hypokalaemia and mild K deficiency; Hypokalaemia
Adult: Prevention of hypokalaemia: 20 mEq daily.
Treatment of hypokalaemia
40-100 mEq/day bid-qid. Give in divided doses if >20 mEq/day.
Intravenous
Severe acute hypokalaemia
Adult: If serum potassium level >2.5 mEq/L, give at a rate not exceeding 10 mEq/hr in a concentration of up to 40 mEq/L. Max dose: 200 mEq/24 hr.
If serum potassium level <2 mEq/L, may infuse at a rate of up to 40 mEq/hr. Continuous cardiac monitoring is essential. Max dose: 400 mEq/24 hr.
Max Dosage: 2-3 mmol potassium/kg body wt in 24 hrs.
Child Dose
Hypokalemia
0.5-2 mEq/kg PO q12hr
Monitor closely: 0.5 mEq/kg/hr IV for 1-2 hr
Contraindication
Hyperchloraemia, severe renal or adrenal insufficiency.
Mode of Action
Potassium chloride is a major cation of the intracellular fluid. It plays an active role in the conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, brain and skeletal muscle; contraction of cardiac skeletal and smooth muscles; maintenance of normal renal function, acid-base balance, carbohydrate metabolism and gastric secretion.
Precaution
Renal or adrenocortical insufficiency; cardiac disease; acute dehydration; extensive tissue destruction. Pregnancy. Ensure adequate urine output; monitor plasma-potassium and other electrolyte concentrations. Discontinue treatment if severe nausea, vomiting or abdominal distress develops. Accumulation of potassium may occur in renal impairment.
Side Effect
GI ulceration (sometimes with haemorrhage and perforation or with late formation of strictures) following the use of enteric-coated K chloride preparation; hyperkalaemia.
Oral: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
IV: Pain or phloebitis; cardiac toxicity.
Interaction
Potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ciclosporin and potassium-containing drugs. Antimuscarinics delay gastric emptying time consequently increasing risk of GI adverse effects esp of solid oral dosage forms.
