Sanso Potasium 200 mg tab

Description:

Sanso Potasium 200 mg tab is an oral potassium chloride tablet used as an electrolyte replenisher and potassium supplement. It is classified as a medicine and is designed to correct and prevent low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) that may occur due to prolonged diarrhea, vomiting, diuretic use, adrenal steroid therapy, or certain heart medications. Maintaining adequate potassium levels supports normal heart rhythm, nerve conduction, and muscle function, making this product important in overall cardiovascular and neuromuscular health under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment and prevention of hypokalaemia (low blood potassium levels).
• Management of hypochloremic alkalosis associated with prolonged diarrhea or vomiting (when used as part of electrolyte replacement therapy).
• Potassium supplementation in patients receiving thiazide or other potassium-wasting diuretics, under medical supervision.
• Adjunctive treatment in patients receiving adrenal steroid therapy where potassium depletion may occur.
• Supportive treatment in digitalis (cardiac glycoside) intoxication, as directed by a physician.
• General electrolyte replenishment when potassium deficiency is documented or strongly suspected.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Potassium chloride – 200 mg per tablet.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Dosage must always be determined by a physician based on serum potassium levels, clinical condition, age, and concurrent medications.
• Typical adult dosing for potassium supplements varies; do not exceed the prescribed dose.
• Tablets are usually taken orally with a full glass of water.
• It is generally recommended to take potassium chloride tablets with or after food to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal irritation.
• Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically instructs otherwise.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Use only under medical supervision in patients with heart disease, kidney impairment, or those on medications that affect potassium levels (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics).

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps restore and maintain normal blood potassium levels, supporting healthy electrolyte balance.
• Supports normal heart rhythm and cardiovascular function by ensuring adequate intracellular potassium.
• Promotes proper nerve conduction and muscle contraction, helping reduce symptoms such as muscle weakness or cramps associated with potassium deficiency.
• Assists in correcting metabolic disturbances such as hypochloremic alkalosis when used as part of a complete electrolyte replacement regimen.
• May help reduce the risk of complications associated with severe hypokalaemia, such as arrhythmias, when used as directed by a healthcare professional.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Excess potassium can be dangerous and may cause serious, potentially fatal hyperkalaemia.
• Contraindicated in patients with hyperkalaemia, severe renal impairment, anuria, untreated Addison’s disease, or conditions associated with potassium retention.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiac disease, especially those on digitalis, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, or other medications that increase serum potassium.
• Gastrointestinal ulceration, bleeding, or obstruction may occur with solid oral potassium formulations, particularly in patients with delayed gastrointestinal transit or structural GI disease.
• Do not use as a general over-the-counter supplement without confirmed or suspected deficiency and medical advice.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, or adrenal disorders.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical evaluation and prescription.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• In case of overdose, seek emergency medical attention immediately, as severe hyperkalaemia is a medical emergency.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, or a feeling of fullness in the stomach.
• Less common but serious gastrointestinal effects may include ulceration, bleeding, or perforation, especially in patients with pre-existing GI disease or when taken improperly.
• Signs of high potassium (hyperkalaemia) may include muscle weakness, tingling or numbness, slow or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or fainting. These require immediate medical attention.
• Allergic reactions are rare but may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing; discontinue use and seek medical help if these occur.
