Description

Potassium is needed to maintain good health. Although a balanced diet usually supplies all the potassium a person needs, potassium supplements may be needed by patients who do not have enough potassium in their regular diet or have lost too much potassium because of illness or treatment with certain medicines.

There is no evidence that potassium supplements are useful in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.

Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor. Potassium supplements are available with your doctor"s prescription in the following dosage forms:

  • Oral
  • Potassium Bicarbonate
    • Tablets for solution (U.S. and Canada)
  • Potassium Bicarbonate and Potassium Chloride
    • Powder for solution (U.S. and Canada)
    • Tablets for solution (U.S. and Canada)
  • Potassium Bicarbonate and Potassium Citrate
    • Tablets for solution (U.S.)
  • Potassium Chloride
    • Extended-release capsules (U.S. and Canada)
    • Solution (U.S. and Canada)
    • Powder for solution (U.S. and Canada)
    • Powder for suspension (U.S.)
    • Extended-release tablets (U.S. and Canada)
  • Potassium Gluconate
    • Elixir (U.S. and Canada)
    • Tablets (U.S.)
  • Potassium Gluconate and Potassium Chloride
    • Solution (U.S.)
    • Powder for solution (U.S.)

  • Potassium Chloride
    • Concentrate for injection (U.S. and Canada)

Importance of Diet

For good health, it is important that you eat a balanced and varied diet. Follow carefully any diet program your health care professional may recommend. For your specific dietary vitamin and/or mineral needs, ask your health care professional for a list of appropriate foods.

The following table includes some potassium-rich foods.

Food (amount) Milligrams of potassium Milliequivalents of potassium
Acorn squash, cooked (1 cup) 896 23
Potato with skin, baked (1 long) 844 22
Spinach, cooked (1 cup) 838 21
Lentils, cooked (1 cup) 731 19
Kidney beans, cooked (1 cup) 713 18
Split peas, cooked (1 cup) 710 18
White navy beans, cooked (1 cup) 669 17
Butternut squash, cooked (1 cup) 583 15
Watermelon (1/16) 560 14
Raisins (1/2 cup) 553 14
Yogurt, low-fat, plain (1 cup) 531 14
Orange juice, frozen (1 cup) 503 13
Brussel sprouts, cooked (1 cup) 494 13

The daily amount of potassium needed is defined in several different ways.
  • For U.S.—
  • Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are the amount of vitamins and minerals needed to provide for adequate nutrition in most healthy persons. RDAs for a given nutrient may vary depending on a person"s age, sex, and physical condition (e.g., pregnancy).
  • Daily Values (DVs) are used on food and dietary supplement labels to indicate the percent of the recommended daily amount of each nutrient that a serving provides. DV replaces the previous designation of United States Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDAs).
  • For Canada—
  • Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) are used to determine the amounts of vitamins, minerals, and protein needed to provide adequate nutrition and lessen the risk of chronic disease.

Because lack of potassium is rare, there is no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate.

Remember:

  • The total amount of potassium that you get every day includes what you get from food and what you may take as a supplement. Read the labels of processed foods. Many foods now have added potassium.
  • Your total intake of potassium should not be greater than the recommended amounts, unless ordered by your doctor. In some cases, too much potassium may cause muscle weakness, confusion, irregular heartbeat, or difficult breathing.

Before Using This Medicine

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For potassium supplements, the following should be considered:

Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to potassium preparations. Also tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.

Pregnancy—Potassium supplements have not been shown to cause problems in humans.

Breast-feeding—Potassium supplements pass into breast milk. However, this medicine has not been reported to cause problems in nursing babies.

Children—Although there is no specific information comparing use of potassium supplements in children with use in other age groups, they are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than they do in adults.

Older adults—Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of potassium supplements in the elderly with use in other age groups, they are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than they do in younger adults.

Older adults may be at a greater risk of developing high blood levels of potassium (hyperkalemia).

Other medicines—Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking potassium supplements, it is especially important that your doctor and pharmacist know if you are taking any of the following:

  • Amantadine (e.g., Symmetrel) or
  • Anticholinergics (medicine for abdominal or stomach spasms or cramps) or
  • Antidepressants (medicine for depression) or
  • Antidyskinetics (medicine for Parkinson"s disease or other conditions affecting control of muscles) or
  • Antihistamines or

  • Quinidine (e.g., Quinidex) or
  • Trimeprazine (e.g., Temaril)—Use with potassium supplements may cause or worsen certain stomach or intestine problems
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (benazepril [e.g., Lotensin], captopril [e.g., Capoten], enalapril [e.g., Vasotec], fosinopril [e.g., Monotril], lisinopril [e.g., Prinivil, Zestril], quinapril [e.g., Accupril], ramipril [e.g., Altace]) or
  • Amiloride (e.g., Midamor) or
  • Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (acebutolol [e.g., Sectral], atenolol [e.g., Tenormin], betaxolol [e.g., Kerlone], carteolol [e.g., Cartrol], labetalol [e.g., Normodyne], metoprolol [e.g., Lopressor], nadolol [e.g., Corgard], oxprenolol [e.g., Trasicor], penbutolol [e.g., Levatol], pindolol [e.g., Visken], propranolol [e.g., Inderal], sotalol [e.g., Sotacor], timolol [e.g., Blocadren]) or

  • Digitalis glycosides (heart medicine)—Use with potassium supplements may make heart problems worse
  • Thiazide diuretics (water pills)—If you have been taking a potassium supplement and a thiazide diuretic together, stopping the thiazide diuretic may cause hyperkalemia (high blood levels of potassium)

Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of potassium supplements. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

  • Addison"s disease (underactive adrenal glands) or
  • Dehydration (excessive loss of body water, continuing or severe)
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus or
  • Kidney disease—Potassium supplements may increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high blood levels of potassium), which may worsen or cause heart problems in patients with these conditions
  • Diarrhea (continuing or severe)—The loss of fluid in combination with potassium supplements may cause kidney problems, which may increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high blood levels of potassium)
  • Heart disease—Potassium supplements may make this condition worse
  • Intestinal or esophageal blockage—Potassium supplements may damage the intestines
  • Stomach ulcer—Potassium supplements may make this condition worse
