Potassium Gluconate
Potassa-Chew is a Potassium Gluconate supplement for use in potassium deficient
states in cats and dogs.
The potassium supplement in Potassa-Chew can easily manage hypokalemia. The
most common cause of hypokalemia is chronic renal insufficiency resulting in
excessive amounts of potassium being excreted in the urine and a parallel inability
to absorb enough from the stomach and intestines. Potassa-Chew is a highly palatable
potassium gluconate supplement to manage hypokalemia associated with renal insufficiency
in cats and dogs.
