Klor-Con Reviews
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "The pills are just too big. I choke almost every time I take them. If they were coated with something to alleviate the chalk-like outside consistency, it might help. I cut them in half using a pill cutter, and that helps somewhat. But I have informed my husband to sue the company when trying to swallow one of these pills if it actually chokes me to death."
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "The pills are too large to swallow, and I almost choked twice. So now I bite the tablet in half. I'm afraid to swallow, and my voice is getting hoarse. I'm thinking of stopping this med. Is there a liquid form available?"
For Hypokalemia "I use this to prevent muscle cramps so severe that I have thought I would tear muscles loose. I take 2 tablets each day along with 3 x 600 mg calcium citrate with Vitamin D caplets. Sometimes I have to take an additional Klor-Con 20 if I am passing a lot of urine. I take Lasix 40 mg a day, I was taking 80 mg, and I would get cramps within 6 hours of taking it. I had been using quinine previously, but it was taken off the market."
For Hypokalemia "I prefer the fizzy tablets to these extremely large and difficult to swallow pills. I have chronic hypokalemia and take Klor-Con 20 twice a day. It seems to work ok as once and awhile I get a normal potassium level. Usually I'm still hypokalemic tho. It's not as low as before and I've managed to stay out of the hospital since starting this. I have no side effects. The pills are so difficult to swallow!"
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "I got severe gastrointestinal pain/cramps and diarrhea after 2 doses."
"Helps with leg cramps and blood pressure."
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "Increased urination and loss of bladder control."
For Hypokalemia "Works fast and well. It will put you back to normal within 1-2 hours!"
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "Works great, I feel so much better, and no side effects at all!"
For Hypokalemia "Worst Medicine. Had terrible abdominal pain and diarrhea.. pain level was a 11!! Dizzy, confused, how can they make people go they this??????"
For Prevention of Hypokalemia "My skin is peeling off my hands and Acetonide doesn't help. I'm going to cut back on using this drug."
