Potassium supplement. Potassium is used for treatment of hypokalemia. A dose 1.9 g of potassium chloride is equivalent to 1 g of potassium. One gram of potassium chloride is equal to 14 mEq of potassium. Other potassium supplements include potassium gluconate, potassium acetate, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium citrate.
Potassium supplements are indicated for treating hypokalemia. Hypokalemia may occur with some diseases or as a consequence of diuretic use. Hypokalemia may also occur as a consequence of beta-2 adrenergic agonist overdose. In most patients, potassium chloride is the supplement of choice for hypokalemia. It is better absorbed than other supplements, and the chloride ion may be helpful because hypochloremia may also occur in some patients.
