Klor-Con (active ingredient: potassium chloride) is a prescription medication used to treat and prevent low potassium levels in the blood, a condition known as hypokalemia.
Potassium is an essential mineral that helps your heart, muscles, nerves, and kidneys function properly. When potassium levels become too low, it can affect normal body functions and may lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
Klor-Con is used to treat and prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels).
Low potassium can occur for many reasons, including:
Symptoms of low potassium may include:
Restoring potassium levels helps support normal muscle function, nerve signaling, and heart rhythm.
Klor-Con is also prescribed as a potassium supplement for people who need additional potassium to maintain healthy potassium levels.
Your healthcare provider may recommend Klor-Con if you are at increased risk of developing hypokalemia due to certain medications or medical conditions.
Klor-Con belongs to a group of medications called electrolyte supplements.
By restoring normal potassium levels, Klor-Con helps prevent complications associated with hypokalemia, including muscle weakness, cramps, and potentially dangerous heart rhythm problems.
While taking Klor-Con, your healthcare provider may monitor your potassium levels and kidney function with regular blood tests to ensure the medication is working safely and effectively.
Klor-Con is available as an oral tablet that should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Take Klor-Con at the same time each day to help maintain consistent potassium levels in your body.
To help reduce the risk of stomach irritation, take each dose with a meal or immediately after eating and swallow it with a full glass (4 to 8 ounces or 120 to 240 mL) of water or juice.
Swallow the tablet whole unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise. Do not crush, chew, or suck on extended-release tablets, as this may release the medication too quickly and increase the risk of irritation to your mouth, throat, or stomach.
Your dose will depend on:
Do not take more Klor-Con or take it more often than prescribed.
The dose of Klor-Con is individualized based on your potassium level and your body’s needs.
For adults with hypokalemia (low potassium levels), the usual dose is:
If your total daily dose is more than 40 mEq, it should generally be divided so that no single dose exceeds 40 mEq, which helps reduce the risk of stomach irritation.
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on the results of your blood tests and your response to treatment.
In addition to taking Klor-Con, your healthcare provider may recommend eating potassium-rich foods, depending on your individual medical condition and treatment plan.
Klor-Con (Potassium Chloride) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Before taking Klor-Con, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, including any allergies, medical conditions, and all medications you are taking. This helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.
Do not take Klor-Con if you are allergic to potassium chloride or any of the ingredients in the medication.
Some inactive ingredients may also cause allergic reactions in certain people. If you are unsure about the ingredients, ask your pharmacist for more information.
Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, including:
Do not take other potassium supplements or use salt substitutes containing potassium unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Taking too much potassium can lead to hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), which can be dangerous and may cause serious heart rhythm problems.
Klor-Con may interact with certain medications and supplements.
Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal products, and dietary supplements you are taking. Certain medications, such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), potassium-sparing diuretics, and some anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), may increase your risk of developing high potassium levels.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Klor-Con.
Your healthcare provider will determine whether the benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks. Potassium can pass into breast milk, so discuss the safest feeding option for your baby if you are breastfeeding.
Although uncommon, extended-release potassium chloride tablets can cause serious irritation or injury to the stomach or intestines.
Stop taking Klor-Con and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience:
These symptoms may indicate ulceration, intestinal blockage, bleeding, or perforation, which require immediate medical attention.
While taking Klor-Con, your healthcare provider may regularly monitor your:
Keeping your follow-up appointments and having regular blood tests can help ensure the medication remains safe and effective.
While taking Klor-Con, do not use potassium-containing salt substitutes or take additional potassium supplements unless your healthcare provider instructs you to do so. Depending on your medical condition and blood potassium levels, your healthcare provider may recommend adjusting your intake of potassium-rich foods. Do not make significant changes to your diet without consulting your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian. If you have kidney disease or another condition that affects potassium balance, follow the dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare provider. Before starting a strenuous exercise program, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or take other medications, talk to your healthcare provider.
Yes. Klor-Con may interact with medications that affect potassium levels, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), potassium-sparing diuretics, and certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Before starting Klor-Con, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Klor-Con. They will determine whether the benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks and whether potassium supplementation is appropriate for you.
Klor-Con is best taken with a meal or within 30 minutes after eating to help reduce stomach irritation. Take each dose with a full glass of water. If you are taking an extended-release tablet, swallow it whole. Do not crush, chew, break, or suck the tablet, as this can damage the extended-release formulation and increase the risk of irritation to your mouth, throat, or stomach. For the best results, take Klor-Con at the same time each day and follow your healthcare provider’s dosing instructions.
