I've been prescribed Potassium Chloride 10meq ER Tablets to treat low potassium levels. The pharmacist gave me a long list of possible side effects, but I'm not sure what to really expect. Has anyone else taken this and what were your experiences? I'm a bit worried about the serious side effects. Are they really as rare as the doctor said?

These tablets have been a lifesaver for me. I had really low potassium levels, and this really helped. I take them with food to avoid any upset stomach.

I've been on these for a while and they haven't bothered me much. Just a bit of stomach discomfort sometimes, but it goes away.

Watch out for the serious side effects, though. I had a friend who ended up in the hospital because of high potassium levels. It can be really dangerous if not treated right away.

If you have any severe allergic reactions, don't wait it out. Call the emergency services and get to a hospital.

I take these before bed. Helps avoid any of the GI issues.

Some foods like bananas, oranges, and spinach are high in potassium as well, so you can also up your intake through diet. Just be careful not to overdo it.
