saptalis pharmaceuticals, llc - potassium chloride (unii: 660yq98i10) (potassium cation - unii:295o53k152) - potassium chloride oral solution is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis, in patients for whom dietary management with potassium-rich foods or diuretic dose reduction are insufficient. potassium chloride oral solution is contraindicated in patients on potassium sparing diuretics. there are no human data related to use of potassium chloride during pregnancy, and animal studies have not been conducted. potassium supplementation that does not lead to hyperkalemia is not expected to cause fetal harm.  the background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.  risk summary the normal potassium ion content of human milk is about 13 meq per liter. since potassium from oral supplements such as potassium chloride becomes part of the body potassium pool, as long as body potassium is not excessive, the contribution of potassium chloride supplementation should have little or no effect on the level in human milk. the safety and effectiveness of potassium chloride have been demonstrated in children with diarrhea and malnutrition from birth to 16 years. clinical studies of potassium chloride did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. this drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. patients with cirrhosis should usually be started at the low end of the dosing range, and the serum potassium level should be monitored frequently. [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)].  patients with renal impairment have reduced urinary excretion of potassium and are at substantially increased risk of hyperkalemia. patients with impaired renal function, particularly if the patient is on ace inhibitors, arbs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should usually be started at the low end of the dosing range because of the potential for development of hyperkalemia. the serum potassium level should be monitored frequently. renal function should be assessed periodically.
