What “potassium” trade names usually refer to
“Potassium” can refer to several different drug products and salts, such as potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, or potassium phosphate. Each salt has its own brand (trade) names depending on the country and manufacturer.
Common trade names you might be looking for
If you mean potassium chloride (a frequent one for supplementing potassium or correcting low potassium), widely used brand examples include:
- Klor-Con (potassium chloride)
- K-Dur (potassium chloride)
If you mean potassium citrate (often used for kidney stone prevention or certain urine chemistry issues), brand examples commonly include:
- Urocit-K (potassium citrate)
Quick way to identify the exact trade name
To give the correct trade name, you’ll need at least one detail:
- the specific potassium salt (chloride vs citrate vs bicarbonate, etc.)
- the strength (e.g., 10 mEq, 20 mEq)
- the dosage form (tablet vs capsule vs liquid)
- your country/market
If you share the salt name or a photo/text of the label, I can pinpoint the likely trade name(s).
Why trade names differ by country
Same active ingredient, different brands: manufacturers and regulators vary by region, so a product sold under one trade name in one country may use a different trade name elsewhere.
