Why is K-Dur prescribed?

K-Dur, with the generic name Potassium chloride, is a supplement given to people with deficient levels of potassium in the body, as in the case of kidney disease, a gastrointestinal disease with associated nausea and vomiting, and the intake of diuretics. Potassium is essential to maintain the function of the heart, kidneys, muscles, nerves, as well as the digestive system.

What does it do?

Potassium is classified as electrolytes used to replenish the levels of potassium in the body in order to provide relief of symptoms experienced with potassium deficiency.

How should I take it?

K-Dur is currently available as a 20meq tablet taken whole (not split, chewed, or crushed) by mouth with a full glass of water or fruit juice.

The dosage strength and frequency will vary depending on your condition. Do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Strictly follow your prescribed dosing schedule to achieve the desired effect of this drug. If you miss a dose, take it immediately. However, if it’s close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and proceed with the regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose, unless told otherwise.
