b. Potassium Chloride is a potassium salt indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis
of hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis, in patients for whom dietary
management with potassium-rich foods or diuretic dose reduction is insufficient.

Concentration:
Adults:
Treatment of hypokalemia:
Daily dose range from 40 to 100 mEq. Give in 2 to 5 divided doses: limit doses to
40 mEq per dose. The total daily dose should not exceed 200 mEq in a 24 hour
period.

Maintenance or Prophylaxis:
Typical dose is 20 mEq per day. Individualize dose based upon serum potassium
levels.

Pediatric:
Treatment of hypokalemia:
Pediatric patients aged birth to 16 years old: The initial dose is 2 to 4 mEq/kg/day
in divided doses; do not exceed as a single dose 1 mEq/kg or 40 mEq, whichever
is lower; maximum daily doses should not exceed 100 mEq. If deficits are severe
or ongoing losses are great, consider intravenous therapy.

Maintenance or Prophylaxis:
Pediatric patients aged birth to 16 years old: Typical dose is 1 mEq/kg/day. Do
not exceed 3 mEq/kg/day.
