Elevated levels of potassium can cause abnormal hearth rhythms, which can result in heart attack and be fatal. Any time you have an elevated level, even a slight one, your doctor should discuss it with you and try to get to the root of what is causing the problem, such as another health problem, something you are eating, a supplement or another medication you may be taking.

electrolite mineral ## I take large quanities daily. I'm looking foe a better price ## Do you take K-Dur? try a generic, it should be half of k-dur. ## Jim, do you take large quantities per a doctor's instructions?

There are generics available, you will really just have to shop around to try and find the best price available in your area or online.
