I've been taking Potassium Chlor 10% Liq (20meq/15ml) for a few weeks now to manage my low potassium levels. I've found it to be quite effective, but I can't shake the feeling of unease when reading the laundry list of side effects. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this drug at all. I've been trying to find as much information as I can, but the official resources are frustratingly brief, and I really want to hear from others about their experiences and how they cope with the side effects. The thought of an allergic reaction or high potassium levels really scares me. I'm also curious about how others manage the more minor side effects, like stomach pain or diarrhea. I've been using a heating pad to help with the discomfort, but I'd love to hear alternative methods from others who have been prescribed Potassium Chlor 10% Liq (20meq/15ml)

I've been on potassium chloride for a few months now and I haven't experienced any major side effects, but I did have some minor stomach discomfort at first. I think the trick is to take it with food and drink plenty of water.

I had a pretty bad reaction to this medication. I started breaking out in hives and my throat felt really tight. I immediately went to the ER and they gave me an IV of something to counteract the reaction. I was lucky I didn't have any kind of serious anaphylaxis reaction, though. Needless to say, I won't be taking this again.

I've been taking this medication for a while and I've had consistent stomach pain. However, I've discovered that a good probiotic has helped me quite a bit. It's worth a shot if you're having issues with your stomach pain or diarrhea.

Ugh, I hate the way this stuff tastes. It's so nauseating. I've resorted to holding my nose and chugging it. Has anyone figured out a way to mask the flavor?

This stuff is amazing. I've had no side effects at all.

I have been taking this for a few weeks now and I feel amazing! No side effects at all, just feeling better than I have in years.

I've been on this med for a while and I get the stomach aches every time. I've found that drinking it with a full glass of water and waiting about 20 minutes before eating helps me out a lot. It's frustrating to have to schedule my meals around the meds but it beats the alternative.
