Storage

  • Don't freeze liquid forms.


How To Use
  • To prevent stomach upset, take each dose with food or immediately after a meal.
  • Sustained-release capsules and tablets must be swallowed whole.
  • Do not crush or chew them as side effects may be increased.
  • Take each dose with a full glass of water.
  • The liquid and powder forms must be diluted in a glass of cold water or juice before taking.
  • Drink slowly.

Side Effects
  • May cause diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea or vomiting the first few days as your body adjusts to the medicine.

  • This medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
  • Potassium supplements are not known to appear in breast milk.
  • Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose
  • If you miss a dose, take as soon as remembered, if you should remember within 2 hours.
  • If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and resume your usual schedule.
  • Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Drug Interactions
  • Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use (both prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take other water pills, ACE inhibitors (Capoten-like drugs for blood pressure) or digoxin (Lanoxin for heart problems) as your dose may need to be adjusted or you may need to be monitored more closely.
