my pot chloride 10 is passing through without digesting as they are whole in the stools, why? ## Hello, Lucky! How are you? You're just seeing the outer shell. Potassium, especially in this high of a dose, can be very harsh on your stomach, so these tablets are coated to help protect your stomach and to slowly release the potassium over time to try to prevent the stomach pain and severe nausea that it may cause otherwise. (Those are the FDA reported side effects.) Is there anything else I can help with?

Why does my potassium chloride 10meq sa tab bottle say not to lie down for10 minutes after taking ? ## Hello, Mike! How are you? That's due to the possibility of it causing some acid reflux, that might lead to esophageal erosion. Potassium is very harsh on the stomach and will usually cause you to produce more stomach acid than usual and if you lay down within 10 minutes, it greatly increases the chances of reflux occurring. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Found the info I needed thanks

What does CR stand for after 10 MEQ? I have one bottle with the CR letters and one bottle with the letter K after 10 MEQ. Are they the same? Susan ## From what I can tell, it seems they are, but you should probably check with your pharmacist to be certain, just in case they are using something different in their labeling system. But the CR usually stands for controlled release and some places also use the K for slow release, which is basically the same thing. Where they both filled at the same pharmacy? ## what is the difference between Potassium CHL Tab 10MEQ CR and Potassium CL 10MEQ ER? ## Received refill of Pot Chloride tab 10 meq cr when always previously rec'd 10 meq er. Is there a difference and should I be concerned? Thank you!

I was at work one day and my blood pressure dropped to 75/43 so I went to the hospital because I'm normally very healthy and I didn't feel right. So the doctor ran tests and said I have low potassium but didn't say how low just gave me a prescription to take one pill a day of potassium chloride 10meq for 14 days. But somebody was telling me that you can take too much potassium and it could be deadly. What I'm asking is do you think the dr prescribed the right amount for me? And should I follow up with a dr? Sorry my anxiety is getting the best of me just wanna ease my mind a little ## Levels of either too high and too low of potassium can both be fatal (that's why the MD gave you potassium chloride tabs to take). So, yes, you can take too much but if you were already...

I was prescribed by my doctor to take 1 tablet each morning. I have a lot of lung, bone, reflex and other issues. On O2 daily now. Are there any side effects I should watch for? Also, on the same day I was prescribed to take a Potassium Chloride Micro 10meq ER tab once daily. Any suggestions? I have a lot of GI issues. ## The FDA lists the typical side effects of Furosemide as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, dehydration, and hypotension. The biggest thing to watch out for is the dehydration. Please make sure that you are taking in enough fluids each day. Are you on any other medications, or just these 2?
