On Potassium Citrate. Is It Safe To Take?
So for example, people who are on diuretics ('water pills'), may need potassium supplements as water pills can cause potassium loss in the urine.
Then those who have kidney stones, may be advised by their doctors to take potassium citrate to increase the citrate levels in the urine. This helps prevent stone formation.
Then there are other less common disorders that result in potassium loss. Affected individuals take potassium in some form such as potassium chloride.
So to answer your question, I would not recommend simply taking potassium citrate without a valid medical reason, as it is unsafe to do so
