Potassium 595mg equals how many potassium meq?

how many meq's is 595 mg of potassium gluconate in pill form? _____________ You seem to be asking how translate a dose of potassium chloride, which is often expressed as mEq's when prescribed as a drug, into an equivalent dose of potassium in supplemental potassium gluconate, which is generally expressed in mg. 595 mg of potassium gluconate contains about 99mg of elemental potassium. 189 mg of potassium chloride also contains about 99mg of elemental potassium. 189 mg of potassium chloride is about 2.54 mEq That said, the potassium in potassium gluconate is more easily absorbed by the body than is the potassium in potassium chloride, so seeking the equivalent elemental potassium dosage may not be what you want as it may produce different effects in the body. For example, my mother had been prescribed 20mEq of potassium chloride by her doctor, which contains 781.960 mg of elemental potassium. The large pills were hard for her to swallow. Instead i gave her about 1/4 teaspoon of powered potassium gluconate mixed in a glass of water, which contained only about 135 mg elemental potassium, about the same contained in 3.5 mEq of potassium chloride. That was less than a fifth the amount prescribed by her doctor, yet her potassium levels in her blood tests were just fine.

Why can't you lay down for 30 minutes after you take potassium pills?

You shouldn't lay down for 30 minutes after taking potassium supplements because you want to make sure that they are completely swallowed. It's a good idea to drink a large glass of water with them as well. If you lay down or don't take them with alot of water, it could burn your esophagus. This advice applies to potassium chloride pills (KCl). An alternative to taking the KCl pills for potassium repletion is to take potassium citrate. It will replete your potassium with out the side effects of KCl.

What happens when you crush pills your not supposed to crush?

The pharmaceutical company that makes your pills makes them according to what your body is going to do with it, if it is time released that means your body only needs a certain amount to be released at a time to be therapeutic, crushing the tablet can cause rapid absorption and thereby a rapid reaction, some reactions are fatal and can cause heart attack (in the case of crushing potassium) Liver or Kidney failure or severe anyphalactic shock. The rule of thumb is if it's time released do not crush. There are many sites to look up medications and I suggest you look up your meds to see if you can crush them or call your nurse, they can't bill you for a phone call.
