Potassium is essential to normal nerve, muscle, and heart function, and animals who run low on it can become weak, lethargic, and unable to hold their heads up normally — a picture seen most often in cats with chronic kidney disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe powder mixes into wet food, which is the easiest way to get a daily supplement into a cat and also helps limit stomach upset. It's a generic equivalent to Tumil-K, and the same active ingredient is sold under the RenaKare name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe source prescription medications directly from manufacturers and wholesale distributors registered with the FDA and licensed by the applicable state boards. Guaranteed genuine and, where applicable, backed by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eItem Number: 146876\u003cbr\u003eGeneric Name: Potassium Gluconate\u003cbr\u003eCommon Brand Names: RenaPlus, RenaKare, Tumil-K\u003cbr\u003eSpecies: Dogs and cats\u003cbr\u003eForm: Oral powder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePrescribed for hypokalemia (low blood potassium). Low potassium is common in cats with chronic kidney disease, and can also result from other conditions, from certain medications, or from prolonged poor appetite or vomiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGive exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian, mixed into food. Dosing is based on your pet's potassium level and body weight, so follow the prescription rather than a general guideline. Give with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYour veterinarian will usually want to recheck bloodwork periodically and may adjust the dose based on the result. Don't increase, decrease, or stop the supplement on your own — potassium is one of those things where both too little and too much cause problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePossible Side Effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGenerally very well tolerated when used as prescribed. Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea can occur, and giving the dose with food usually minimizes it. Contact your veterinarian if digestive upset persists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot for pets with elevated blood potassium (hyperkalemia). Should be avoided in animals with severe kidney impairment, acute dehydration, untreated Addison's disease, hemolysis, or constipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTell your veterinarian about all other medications your pet receives — several drug classes, including some blood pressure medications, affect potassium levels and can interact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeakness, collapse, an irregular heartbeat, or a pet who stops eating are reasons to contact your veterinarian promptly rather than adjusting the dose at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKeep out of reach of children and pets.
