Take K-Nor tablets with a full glass of water, preferably after meals or with food, to minimize gastrointestinal irritation. Do not crush, chew, or suck on extended-release tablets.

Potassium chloride acts as a replacement for endogenous potassium, maintaining intracellular osmotic pressure, aiding nerve impulse transmission, essential for cardiac electrical activity, and crucial for normal renal function and acid-base balance.

• •Hyperkalemia (high blood potassium)
• •Severe renal impairment
• •Addison's disease (untreated)
• •Acute dehydration
• •Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics in the absence of hypokalemia

Store at room temperature (below 30°C), protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.

Symptoms of overdose (hyperkalemia) include muscle weakness, tingling sensations, paralysis, fatigue, mental confusion, and cardiac arrhythmias (bradycardia, widened QRS, ventricular fibrillation, asystole). Management involves immediate discontinuation of potassium, IV calcium gluconate for cardiac protection, IV insulin with glucose to shift potassium intracellularly, sodium bicarbonate, and loop diuretics. Dialysis may be necessary in severe cases.

Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when indicated, as potassium is a normal body constituent. However, use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision. Monitor serum potassium levels.
