K-CHLOR Potassium Chloride Heparin Sodium
ModerateTaking potassium chloride together with heparin sodium can raise the risk of hyperkalaemia (too much potassium in the blood). Other medicines that do this include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, cyclosporin, NSAIDs, beta-blockers, digoxin and potassium-sparing diuretics.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
What to do: Ask your doctor or pharmacist before combining them. They may check your blood potassium or change the plan.
