It is primarily used to treat hypokalemia, a condition characterized by low levels of potassium in the blood. This solution can also be used to manage other conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias.

Patients are advised to take this medication exactly as prescribed by their healthcare provider. It is important to drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication to prevent dehydration. Patients should also avoid taking potassium supplements or other medications that contain potassium while taking this medication to avoid hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by high levels of potassium in the blood.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
