How Can Potassium Deficiency Be Treated Without Side Effects?
Good Afternoon, I take Chlorthiladone 25mg for hypertension, one of the side effects is low potassium levels in the blood. Both potassium CL 10meq ER and Khlor-Con 10meq er tablets cause me to have stomach cramps and diarrhea. Is there something else I could take to raise the potassium level without side effects?

Hello,
You can take Potchlor syrup twice daily to supplement potassium.
Include potassium-rich foods like coconut water and banana to increase the potassium levels in the body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
