{"dosage_and_administration":["DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION SECTION To minimize gastrointestinal irritation, patients must follow direction regarding dilution. Each tablespoon (15 mL) should be diluted wtih three (3) fluid ounces or more of water or other liquid. Usual Adult Dose: one (1) tablespoon (15 mL) twice daily (after morning or evening meals) supplies 80 mEq of Potassium."],"drug_interactions":["DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION Interaction with Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Hypokalemia should not be treated by the concomitant administration of potassium salts and potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, triamterene or amiloride) since the simultaneous administration of these agents can produce severe hyperkalemia. Interaction with ACE inhibitors: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (e.g., captopril, enlapril) will produce some potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone production. Potassium supplements should be given to patients receiving ACE inhibitors only with close monitoring. TOXICITY : Hyperkalemia when detected, must be treated immediately because lethal levels can be reached in a few hours. Dispense in tight, light-resistant container as defined in USP/NF. Store at 20-25 ºC (66 º to 77 ºF) Avoid Freezing."],"effective_time":"20151002","id":"21261c57-7a03-696b-e054-00144ff88e88","inactive_ingredient":["INACTIVE INGREDIENT SECTION Cherry flavor, D&C Red #33, FD&C Red #40, glycerine, methyl paraben, propylene glycol, propyl paraben, purified water, sodium citrate, sodium saccharin"],"indications_and_usage":["INDICATIONS AND USAGE SECTION For treatment of patient with hypokaleia, with or without metabolic alkalosis, in digitalis intoxication."],"openfda":{},"package_label_principal_display_panel":["PACKAGE LABEL PRINCIPAL DISPLAY PANEL Potassium Chloride 20"],"set_id":"0c02098f-dad5-10d3-e054-00144ff88e88","spl_product_data_elements":["Potassium Chloride Potassium Chloride sorbitol glycerin water saccharin sodium dihydrate potassium chloride potassium cation citric acid monohydrate D&C Red No. 33 FD&C RED NO. 40"],"version":"5","warnings_and_cautions":["WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION Discontinue immediatly if abdominal pain, distension, nausea, vomiting or gastrointestinal bleeeding occurs.
