Cautions and Warnings : For therapeutic use only. To be taken only on the advice of a physician. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Take this medicine immediately after meals or with food to lessen possible stomach upset or laxative action. Warning: A probable association exists between the use of coated tablets containing potassium salts, with or without thiazide diuretics and the incidence of serious small bowel ulceration. Such preparations should be used only when adequate dietary supplementation is not practical, and should be discontinued if abdominal pain, distention, nausea, vomiting or gastrointestinal bleeding occur. Do not use with other potassium-containing supplements or with potassium-containing salt-substitutes. Discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner immediately if you experience numbness of the extremities, muscle weakness, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, low blood pressure, or confusion. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have a kidney or heart condition. Where impaired renal function exists, the use of potassium supplements must be monitored closely. Do not use if you have adrenal insufficiency, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, a gastrointestinal ulceration or obstruction. Do not use if you have trouble swallowing (dysphagia) or if you are at a high risk for potassium chloride-induced gastric lesions (e.g. due to recent gastric surgery). Do not use if you are taking any prescription medications especially those which increase serum potassium such as potassium-sparing diuretics or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Not to be used following vigorous exercise or acute dehydration (unless administered with an appropriate balance of other mineral salts, e.g. sodium). Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Keep tightly closed. Store at room temperature (15-30C). Bottle is sealed for your protection. Do not use if the seal is broken.
