Pot Chlor Side Effects

does this medication make you gain weight ## It shouldn't, the FDA usually warns that Potassium supplements can be harsh on the stomach, so they may cause nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting as side effects, thus it is recommended that they be taken with food, or a small snack. Is there anything else I can help with? Are you on any other medications?

Pot Clor Sr Caps Side Effects. I take a fluid pill and doctor put me on the above. Been on it for well over a year and all of a sudden I am experiencing sore joints and muscles, could this be the reason. I take 1 cap. twice a day. ## This is a potassium supplement, so it is hard to say what is causing your issues, it could be due to it, altered levels of potassium, or due to being dehydrated from the water pill. When was the last time your doctor did any blood work? The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and hypotension. They also warn that the time release potassium may cause stomach irritation, so it should be taken with food, even if it's just a small snack. Are you on any other medications?

And yes, anything that works basically as a laxative can cause those types of side effects and you may also experience: bloating, vomiting or nausea. Have you contacted your doctor about this? ## I drank one glass of golightly and in 15 minutes, I became severely short of breath, started shaking, and my head was swimming.

I just want to know what are the side effects of Thorazine and if there is any long term affects? ## Chlorpromazine (CPZ), marketed under the brand names Thorazine and Largactil among others, is an antipsychotic medication. Common side effects include movement problems, sleepiness, dry mouth, low blood pressure upon standing, and increased weight. Serious side effects may include the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, severe lowering of the seizure threshold, and low white blood cell levels. In older people with psychosis as a result of dementia it may increase the risk of death. It is unclear if it is safe for use in pregnancy. Ref: Medline Plus

If med has expired, does that mean it's ineffective? Or stronger? Mine expired 10/09. Thank you. ## Hi Teri, Certain drugs are actually okay to take after expiration, whereas others such as antibiotics can become toxic. Tussionex contains a combination of Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone. My personal assumption is that it lost a good percentage of its potency by now, having been over 2 years old. It may still be effective, but not nearly as potent. It's also impossible to give a direct answer to this question, since each medication can effect people differently. We all know that it's better to avoid the expired drugs and stay on the safe side, but unfortunately, the only way to find out is to actually try it. As far as side effects go for this medication, I'd recommend fol...

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?

My wife is suffering from MCD (Minimal Change Disease) and has been prescribed the above drugs by the Nephrologist. However, she has started experiencing acute cramps all over her legs and hands. Please advice or share experience. ## I am not a medical doctor but have some understanding of the diuretic due to use of these on my parents. The cramps are a result of loss of potassium due to use of Lasix type of diuretic, and reduced loss of potassium due to use of Dytor type of diuretic. Normally potassium chloride is recommended to substitute for potassium loss and to take care of the cramps. My advice is to see a good physician and get an opinion on this. Cramps are highly debilitating and painful and hence I am responding to this. My mother who had been on prolonged dytor use had cramps...

I'm wondering if anyone has had the symptoms I have had. I have had this problem for quite a while. In the evening I would get extra nervous and a feeling of fear and sometimes I would get short of breath and my heart would start beating rapidly both tho the point I would pass out and having to be rushed to the hospital. It was like my body was shutting down. Like it thought I was drowning. I have had this happen many times. The other day I ran out of this medicine. The next day I realized I felt better not as tired and could breath much better and that evening I didn't have the strange feeling. I then looked up this med on the web and the only side effects I have is the breathing and tired. The following day I felt like my mind was much clearer and not near the tired feeling. I...

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?

What are the side effects of Potassium Cl? ## My grandmother has been prescribed this medication (Potassium CL) and has discovered them completely whole in her bowel movements, why is this? ## Kimberly, when some medications are time released, the outer shell of the tablet is NOT meant to be digested and is just expelled as waste, however, the medication is still released and used by the body, just as it is supposed to be. Many of these types of medications will even carry warnings about this in the drug monographs. Side effects can include: high potassium levels, nausea, diarrhea and muscle weakness. Did you have any other questions? ## Mom has always taken K CR and now it is ER. What is the difference. I thought CR meant time release. ## Kimberly, I really doubt that answer. I Also ta...

Can the side effects include stiffness & cramps in both hands? ## Hello, Paul! How are you? That means that they contain 20 milliequivalents per tablet, that's the dosage and the ER denotes them as being time released. The main side effect of this supplement, as listed by the FDA, is stomach pain and nausea, so it's best to take it with food. As to the stiffness and cramping, that is most likely caused by your potassium being low, but you should have it checked out, just in case. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking lots chloride 10meg er cap for potassium but I still get leg and arm cramps. So I stopped taking them for a week no cramps. So what gives.

My Dr told me to start at one teaspoon a night before bed to help with my coughing all though the night with my cold. It has been one hour and I don't feel tired and I'm still coughing. Should I take an other half teaspoon or wait longer? ## Hello, Netta! How are you? No, you shouldn't raise your dosage, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic cough suppressant, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If you aren't opiate tolerant, it can be very risky to try to adjust the dosage on your own. Is there anything else I can help with?
