1	Stacey Says: Report Abuse Monday, 12/5/2005 12:07:38 PM I think you could mean the imprint 'Andrx 720' - If so then that is 20 meq Potassium Chloride Extended Release Tablets. Any question about the appearance, see This Picture.

3	K. Anderson Says: Report Abuse Monday, 12/5/2005 7:34:41 PM Question about potassium. What is the difference between 20 meq dosage and the 99 mg dosage in over the counter potassium
4	Stacey Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 12/6/2005 12:31:47 PM I don't know the full answer, per say, but by definition 'Equivalents (Eq) and milliequivalents (mEq) measure a substances ability to combine with another substance'. So my guess is that the dosages of OTC versions of potassium are basically stated as exactly what their weight is. But with the prescribed version, I would think the 20 meq dosage would indicate that it is a more arbitrary number for how much potassium would absorb into the bloodstream. Anyone else out there know? Hope my answer makes some sense at least ;) Stacey
