Drinking potassium chloride and diarrhea should stop drinking potassium chloride immediately, and if necessary, intravenous infusion or more fruits containing more potassium can be taken.
Drinking potassium chloride is generally mainly for potassium supplementation, mostly used for long-term infusion or treatment of patients with hypokalemia. Some patients have diarrhea and other symptoms after drinking potassium chloride, indicating intolerance to potassium chloride, and the mucous membrane of gastrointestinal tract is stimulated after contacting with potassium chloride, causing accelerated peristalsis and so on, leading to diarrhea, which should be stopped using potassium chloride immediately. If the diarrhea is severe, antidiarrheal drugs such as montelukast can be used.
If potassium supplementation is really needed for other reasons, it can be changed to intravenous potassium chloride solution, which will not pass through the digestive tract directly and will not cause diarrhea. In addition, it can also be taken to eat more potassium-rich fruits such as bananas, kiwis, oranges, grapes and so on.
Drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
