How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Potassium Gluconate 2 meq/2.5 ml Oral Gel (Vet) is a specialized medication designed to address hypokalemia, a condition characterized by low potassium levels, in animals. This potassium supplement is formulated to restore the body's potassium levels, thereby promoting overall health and well-being. The gel is dispensed in a tube and is designed for oral administration, with each dose containing 2 meq/2.5 ml of the active ingredient.

The medication works by replenishing the body's potassium levels. Potassium is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, facilitating muscle contractions, and transmitting nerve impulses. When an animal's potassium levels drop, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, fatigue, and irregular heartbeat. Potassium Gluconate 2 meq/2.5 ml Oral Gel (Vet) helps to alleviate these symptoms by restoring the body's potassium levels.

While Potassium Gluacate 2 meq/2.5 ml Oral Gel (Vet) is generally well-tolerated and safe for use in animals, it is essential to follow your veterinarian's instructions when administering this medication. Regular monitoring of your pet's potassium levels is also crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. If you have any queries or concerns about Potassium Gluconate 2 meq/2.5 ml Oral Gel (Vet) or its administration, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian or a qualified healthcare professional.

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.
