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.
