Prescription Drug Information: Potassium Chloride (Page 2 of 2)

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

The potassium chloride in Potassium Chloride extended-release is completely absorbed before it leaves the small intestine. The wax matrix is not absorbed and is excreted in the feces; in some instances the empty matrices may be noticeable in the stool. When the bioavailability of the potassium ion from the Potassium Chloride extended-release is compared to that of a true solution the extent of absorption is similar.

The extended-release properties of Potassium Chloride extended-release are demonstrated by the finding that a significant increase in time is required for renal excretion of the first 50% of the Potassium Chloride extended-release dose as compared to the solution.

Increased urinary potassium excretion is first observed 1 hour after administration of Potassium Chloride extended-release, reaches a peak at approximately 4 hours, and extends up to 8 hours. Mean daily steady-state plasma levels of potassium following daily administration of Potassium Chloride extended-release tablets cannot be distinguished from those following administration of potassium chloride solution or from control plasma levels of potassium ion.

Specific Populations

Cirrhotics

Based on publish literature, the baseline corrected serum concentrations of potassium measured over 3 hours after administration in cirrhotic subjects who received an oral potassium load rose to approximately twice that of normal subjects who received the same load.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and fertility studies in animals have not been performed. Potassium is a normal dietary constituent.
