About Potplus Syrup

Potplus Syrup is indicated in the prevention and treatment of hypokalaemia (low potassium) with or without metabolic acidosis (build-up of acid in the blood), in familial periodic paralysis (inherited neurological disorder) and digitalis intoxication.

Potplus Syrup contains ‘Potassium chloride’, which works by replenishing the potassium, thereby treating hypokalaemia.

Potplus Syrup can cause some side effects, such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain/discomfort, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
