What Is Klor-Con M20 Used For?

Hi, My doctor recently put me on Klor-Con M20 (40 MEQ) per day. After my blood tests, my doctor was alarmed with the results (very high calcium and very low Magnesium, Potassium, and other electrolytes). She asked if I had an eating disorder....I don t, but was very worried when she asked such a question. Why would she ask this, and what is the Klor-Con for?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Klor-Con M20 (40 MEQ) is the brand name of the drug containing potassium chloride. You may have electrolytes disturbance with low potassium level so it is helpful. It can be seen in some eating disorder also that's why he was asking about that. Don't worry much about that. Just take it according to prescription.
