K-Dur Information:
K-Dur (generic name: Potasium Chloride) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of low potassium levels in the body, also known as hypokalemia. Potassium levels can be low as a result of a disease or from taking certain medicines, or after a prolonged illness with diarrhea or vomiting. Potassium is a mineral that is found in many foods and is required for several functions of your body, especially the beating of your heart. Low potassium can cause weakness, as cellular processes are impaired. Almost 98% of potassium is found inside the cells in the body. Small changes in the level of potassium that is present outside the cells can have severe effects on the heart, nerves, and muscles. Potassium is important to maintain several bodily functions: Muscles need potassium to contract and the heart muscle needs potassium to beat properly and regulate blood pressure.
K-Dur Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking K-Dur including mild nausea or upset stomach, mild or occasional diarrhea, slight tingling in the hands or feet and appearance of K-Dur tablet in stools. More serious side effects may include confusion, anxiety, felling faint, extreme thirst, increased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness, numbness or tingling, severe stomach pain or diarrhea, black or bloody stools and coughing up blood. If you experience any side effects you must seek medical attention immediately for safety.

K-Dur Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of K-Dur, you should avoid taking it and inform your doctor.
