My husband has been prescribed Potassium CL 10 mEq ER, 1 Tab 2X Day because he has also been prescribed Furosemide (aka Lasik) 40 mg, 1 Tab 2X Day for Congestive Heart Failure.
My question is if he where to take an OTC Potassium Gluconate 595mg, 2 Tabs 2X Day (4 Tabs Total Daily) is he getting the same amount of Potassium that he needs?
Please note the OTC Dosage noted above is what I believe is the comparable dosage needed after researching & reviewing numerous articles on the subject.
