Potassiumchloride
Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Vitamins, Minerals & Nutrition treatment.
🧴 Clinical Application
Administer by intravenous infusion through a sterile infusion set. Rate and volume are individualized based on hemodynamic monitoring, blood pressure, urine output, and central venous pressure. In severe burn resuscitation, dose according to Parkland formula.
⚠️ Side Effects
Safe when properly dosed. Overinfusion: Fluid overload, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema. Rare: Hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia.
🛡️ Safety Warnings
Contraindicated in severe metabolic or lactic acidosis (inability to metabolize lactate in severe liver failure or shock), severe hyperkalemia, and severe renal failure. Contains calcium; NEVER administer through the same IV line simultaneously with citrated blood products (calcium binds citrate and triggers blood clotting).
Jan Aushadhi Products containing Potassiumchloride
Found 2 generic formulation(s) containing this active ingredient.
Ringer Lactate Infusion
Ringer's Lactate IV Infusion (Hartmann's Solution 500ml) is a sterile, balanced, isotonic crystalloid solution on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate in physiological concentrations approximating human extracellular fluid (osmolarity ~273 mOsm/L). Lactate ions are metabolized in the liver via gluconeogenesis and the citric acid cycle into bicarbonate ions, gently buffering metabolic acidosis without the hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis associated with normal saline. Indicated for replacement of extracellular fluid and electrolyte losses in acute hypovolemic shock, major burns, acute hemorrhage, intraoperative fluid maintenance, and surgical dehydration.
Frusemide 40mg + Potassium Chloride 600mg (CR) Tablets
Frusemide (40mg) and Potassium Chloride Controlled Release (600mg CR) Tablets combines a high-ceiling loop diuretic with a potassium replenishment core. Frusemide induces significant renal loss of potassium and chloride alongside sodium and water; the controlled-release potassium chloride wax-matrix core dissolves gradually along the small intestine, replenishing potassium losses and preventing diuretic-induced hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, muscle weakness, and cardiac dysrhythmias. Indicated for fluid overload in heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, and hepatic edema.
