Detailed instructions for KALIUM VERLA Granulat Btl., 100 pcs

Field of use

• Mineral preparation.
• It is used:
  • to the potassium replacement:
    • in the case of pronounced potassium raving (hypocalaemia) (serum potassium below 3.2 mmol/l), especially with the simultaneous metabolic acidification (metabolic acidosis),
    • for neuromuscular disorders or cardiac arrhythmias in the event of potassium raving,
    • in the case of potassium raving with the simultaneous treatment with digitalis.
    • for preventing potassium raving of the body (hypocalaemia) (serum potassium below 3.5 mmol/l) for metabolic acidification by ketone body (ketoacidosis).

Contradictions

• Must not be taken:
  • if they are hypersensitive (allergic) against potassium citrate or one of the other components.
  • if you suffer from diseases that are often associated with an increased potassium content in the blood:
    • Reduction of body water (dehydration),
    • restricted excretion function of the kidney,
    • Sub -renal subfunction (Addison's disease),
    • congenital seizure muscle weakness (Adynamia episodica hereditaria).

dosage

• Always take the preparation exactly according to the instruction. Please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not quite sure.
• Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, the usual dose is:
• The dosage depends on the deficiency to be replaced. In general, 1 - 2 bags (corresponding to 20 - 40 mmol potassium) are sufficient 2 - 3 times a day. No more than 2 bags (corresponding to 40 mmol potassium) at once and not more than 7 bags (corresponding to 140 mmol potassium) a day.
• Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you have the impression that the effect is too strong or too weak.

• If you have taken a larger amount than you should:
  • With an overdose, life -threatening cardiac arrhythmia can occur. Signs of overdose can also be sensations, paralysis and states of confusion. Therefore, contact a doctor immediately when suspected overdose!

Patient information

• Particular caution when taking it is required,
  • in sickle cell anemia,
  • with simultaneous treatment with potassium -saving diuretika (drainage agent), aldosterone antagonists, ACE inhibitors, anticholinergics or possibly kidney -damaging medication (non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs - inflammatory inhibitors - etc.). By interaction with these drugs, suddenly occurring acidification (acidosis), acute restriction of kidney function or other conditions, too high potassium content in the blood (hyperkalaemia) can occur.
  • Before application, electrolyte and acid-base status, the cardiac arrhythm and especially in older patients, are to control kidney function. During the treatment, these parameters must initially be monitored in shorter, later at longer intervals.

• Wateriness and operating machines
  • There are no special precautions required.

Pregnancy

• Notes on harmful effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not known.

Hints

Miscellaneous

- Before taking potassium, mineral and acid-base budgets, the heart rhythm and especially in older people, the kidney function should be checked by the doctor.
