If dilution is required, use Sterile Water for Injection or other suitable parental solvents to dilute Potassium Chloride 2 mEq/mL Injection prior to administration.
Adults: When plasma potassium is above 2.5 mEq/L: 10 mEq/hr to a total dose of 200 mEq/day.
When plasma potassium level is less than 2 mEq/L: 40 mEq/hr to a total daily dose of 400 mEq/day.
Children: 3 mEq/kg: the volume of solution is proportional to body size.
Acute Hypokalemia: Doses up to 100 mEq may be given by slow intravenous infusion with ECG control at a rate not exceeding 20 mEq/hr of a solution not exceeding 40 mEq/L.
