About K-Lot Oral Solution

K-Lot Oral Solution 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.
 
K-Lot Oral Solution contains ‘Potassium chloride’, which works by replenishing the potassium, thereby treating hypokalaemia.
 
K-Lot Oral Solution 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.
 
Avoid concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, triamterene or amiloride) with K-Lot Oral Solution as it may cause hyperkalaemia (high potassium levels). Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.
