the kidneys)
−
dehydration (lack of body water as a result of disruption of the
water-salt balance)
−
Addison’s disease (primary adrenal insufficiency, inadequate
function of the adrenal
gland cortex)
−
Adynamia episodica hereditaria (Gamstorp disease, a rare congenital
disease with
attacks of flaccid paralysis with elevated blood potassium
concentration)

POSOLOGY, METHOD AND DURATION OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology:
Dosage is to be adapted to the individual conditions. The following
guidelines apply: For
prophylaxis of a potassium deficiency in general, 2–3 capsules
Kalinor-retard 600 mg daily
(corresponding to 16–24 mmol K
+
). For treatment of a potassium deficiency, 4-12 capsules Kalinor-
retard 600 mg daily (corresponding to 32-96 mmol K
+
). A daily dose of more than 2 capsules
should be divided into two or three individual doses of 2-4 tablets
(16-32 mmol K
+
).
The dosage should be adapted to serum potassium levels of individual
patient.
If the cause of a potassium deficit cannot be determined, ongoing
replacement is recommended. In
other cases of potassium deficiency, days to weeks often suffice to
balance the potassium deficit.
Paediatric population
There is no indication for use in children and adolescent for
Kalinor-retard 600 mg.
Method of administration:
The capsules should be swallowed whole at mealtimes with plenty of
fluid (at least the equivalent
of a water glass full). The capsules can be opened if there are
swallowing problems. The content

in semi-solid food.
