Replenishing Low Potassium Levels

Updated

I've been taking Klor-Con 10 MEQ for 4 days. How long until you get back to a normal potassium range? Thank you ahead of time for your help.

It is hard to say, it really depends on how low your level was and how your body responds to the supplement. Generally, when I had to take it, I showed improvement after about a week, but we are all different.

The FDA warns that it can be very harsh on the stomach, so it should be taken with food, not on an empty stomach.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

Thank you Verwon for responding. I think I feel better. My leg muscles feel stronger. But I am still dizzy. This happened due to my banking position being displaced and went with a high paying / heavy industrial job with Corning. Its hot, I sweat (12 hr shifts) and I have been in dehydration since about the 1st of April 2017. Lost 15 lbs but still fairly dizzy. My dr knows and she is great. But my BUN/Creatine was high on my blood results. Maybe that goes with low potassium- cannot remember now if she said.
