For Prevention of Hypokalemia "The pills are too large to swallow, and I almost choked twice. So now I bite the tablet in half. I'm afraid to swallow, and my voice is getting hoarse. I'm thinking of stopping this med. Is there a liquid form available?"

For Hypokalemia "I use this to prevent muscle cramps so severe that I have thought I would tear muscles loose. I take 2 tablets each day along with 3 x 600 mg calcium citrate with Vitamin D caplets. Sometimes I have to take an additional Klor-Con 20 if I am passing a lot of urine. I take Lasix 40 mg a day, I was taking 80 mg, and I would get cramps within 6 hours of taking it. I had been using quinine previously, but it was taken off the market."

For Hypokalemia "I prefer the fizzy tablets to these extremely large and difficult to swallow pills. I have chronic hypokalemia and take Klor-Con 20 twice a day. It seems to work ok as once and awhile I get a normal potassium level. Usually I'm still hypokalemic tho. It's not as low as before and I've managed to stay out of the hospital since starting this. I have no side effects. The pills are so difficult to swallow!"

For Prevention of Hypokalemia "The pills are just too big. I choke almost every time I take them. It they were coated with something to alleviate the chalk like outside consistency, it might help. I cut them in half using a pill cutter and that helps somewhat. But I have informed my husband to sue the company when trying to swallow one of these pills if it actually chokes me to death."
