Low Potassium? Klor Con Can Help
Potassium is needed for several functions of your body, especially the beating of your heart. Klor con is prescribed to treat low potassium levels when the amount of potassium in your diet is inadequate. It may also be used to treat low levels caused by certain diseases, severe or prolonged episodes of vomiting or diarrhea, or by certain medicines (such as diuretics).

- Constipation
- Palpitations (feeling your heart beat irregularly)
- Passing large amounts of urine or feeling very thirsty most of the time
