IV Potassium Chloride can be given orally?

UTILISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH COMPOUNDS OF POTASSIUM VIA ANY ROUTE, AS IT CAN BE FATAL IF ADMINISTERED WRONGLY. ONLY QUALIFIED PRACTITIONERS SHOULD BE ADMINISTERING IV POTASSIUM CHLORIDE ! With regards to your question, of course it can, but that doesn't mean you should. Lots of drugs can't, but potassium chloride is a salt and won't be denatured by the alimentary canal. We use iv ampoules in patients nasogastric feed in ICU. The only reason it is IV is that it is verified as being sterile and fit for IV administration.. Many drugs can't be cross administered and the dosages between oral and IV are different in many cases, but potassium chloride can be. If you are not a practitioner dealing with a patient you shouldn't be handling IV potassium chloride at all really, as it is very dangerous via the iv route. Patients in the community should be taking oral potassium chloride supplements.

Where can get a iv?

A better question might be do I need an IV. If you know that you require an IV but do not know where to get one; then you should go to a hospital or urgent care center. Doctors' offices and infusion clinics can also administer IV medication; if they have prescribed you such a drug.
