Pot Chlor Er

Updated

I have potassium level of 3.3 and was prescribed Pot Chlor Er(Klor-Con M20)Tb 20Meq but I have Irritable bowel syndrome and Gerd's and the medicine appears to be irritative to the stomach and esophagus. In addition I cannot swallow such a big thick pill. Is there a substitute which is liquid or powder?

There are other potassium supplements available over the counter, but to be equivalent to this, you'd have to take a lot of them and the risk of them being irritating to your gastric system will still be there.

That can actually be mitigated by making sure to take it with food, rather than on an empty stomach and will a full glass of water.

However, if you really can't swallow it, then check with your doctor, they may have some other idea that could help.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

I take two packets of Klor-Con powder in a glass of water twice a day, it is much easier for me to take than two large Klor-Con tablets twice a day. hope this is helpful

Hi I have the same problem. I have found that V8 juice ( low sodium original ) has 34 % of your daily requirement. So I drink two a day. Easier on my stomach and easier to swallow.
