Electrolytes help keep the water levels in different parts of your body in the right balance. Potassium Chloride works by replacing a substance called potassium that your body has lost. Your body needs the right amount of potassium. Potassium helps your muscles, heart and other organs to work properly. Potassium also helps balance the water levels that affect many electrical and chemical processes in your body. Without the right amount of potassium your heart may start to beat abnormally, which could be life-threatening. If you cannot take potassium by mouth, your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine as a drip (infusion). 2. BEFORE YOU সম্পূর্ণ নথি পড়ুন
