Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml

Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml is a syrup made by Green Land Nutraceutical that contains Potassium Chloride 1g/5ml, a potassium supplement. It is used for low potassium (hypokalaemia).

Uses of Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml

Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml is used to prevent and treat low blood potassium (hypokalaemia). Potassium levels can fall with diuretic (water) tablets, steroids, prolonged vomiting or diarrhoea, some kidney and hormone disorders, and poor diet. Keeping potassium in the normal range matters because it is essential for the heart, nerves and muscles. Injections are given in hospital when levels are very low or tablets cannot be taken.

How Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml works

Potassium chloride directly replaces potassium the body has lost. Potassium is a key mineral inside cells and is needed for a normal heart rhythm, nerve signalling and muscle contraction. Restoring levels helps relieve weakness, cramps and tiredness and lowers the risk of heart rhythm problems.

Possible side effects

Taken by mouth, Kcl Syrup 1g/5ml mainly affects the stomach. Common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Stomach discomfort
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Wind

Get urgent medical help for palpitations or an irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness or heaviness, tingling, confusion, black stools, severe stomach pain or pain on swallowing. These can signal high potassium or irritation of the gut.

Precautions and warnings

• Blood potassium and kidney function are monitored, as both too little and too much potassium are dangerous.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, Addison’s disease, heart disease or dehydration.
• Medicines such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, spironolactone, amiloride and potassium-containing salt substitutes can raise potassium further, so mention everything you take.
• Swallow slow-release tablets whole with plenty of water while sitting or standing upright, as they can irritate the food pipe or gut.
• Injections are given slowly through a drip by trained staff, with heart monitoring when needed. Ask your doctor before use in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
