This medicine is usually used to treat conditions caused by insufficient potassium ions, such as severe diarrhea or after using certain diuretics. Potassium Chloride Glucose Injection is given via intravenous injection to ensure rapid and effective replenishment of potassium levels in the body.
When using Potassium Chloride Glucose Injection, patients should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations and dosage instructions. Excessive use may cause potassium toxicity, which can be dangerous to heart function. While receiving this medication, patients should have regular blood tests to monitor potassium levels.
If you have any questions or discomfort, seek help from your doctor immediately. Potassium Chloride Glucose Injection is an effective medical tool, but it must be used under a doctor's supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.

The dosage for children is based on weight and age, usually 2-4 milliequivalents (mEq) per day. Dosage adjustment should be based on the patient's serum potassium concentration and clinical response and should be performed under the guidance of a physician. Serum potassium concentrations should be monitored regularly during use to ensure dosing accuracy and safety.
