Indications: It can be used for the prevention and treatment of hypokalemia (mostly caused by severe vomiting and diarrhea, inability to eat, and long-term use of potassium-expelling diuretics or adrenocortical hormones), and can also be used for paroxysmal tachycardia or frequent outdoor contraction caused by cardiac glycoside poisoning.
Dosage and Usage Potassium salt is supplemented by oral administration of 1 time 1g and 1 time, three times a day. When hypokalemia is serious or vomiting and diarrhea are serious, and it is not easy to be absorbed by oral administration, intravenous drip can be used, each time 10% 10 ml, diluted with 500ml of 5%- 10% glucose solution or the dosage can be determined according to the condition.
Precautions 1. Excessive intravenous drip may cause fatigue, decreased muscle tone, loss of reflex, peripheral circulation failure, slow heart rate and even cardiac arrest. 2. Patients with severe renal function decline should use it with caution when urine volume is low, and should not use it when there is no urine or blood potassium is too high. 3. Dehydration cases are generally given potassium-free solution (compound potassium chloride solution can also be given, because its potassium concentration is low, it will not cause hyperkalemia), and then potassium is supplemented after urination. 4. Intravenous drip should be slow and the concentration should not be too high (generally not more than 0.2%-0.4%, which can be increased to 0.6%-0.7% when arrhythmia is treated), otherwise it will not only cause severe local pain, but also lead to cardiac arrest. 5. Oral administration of this product solution or sugar-free tablets has strong stimulation to gastrointestinal tract, which is unbearable for some patients. When patients have symptoms such as abdominal discomfort and pain after taking it, they should be vigilant.
