"What are the effects and benefits of Sodium Chloride Sustained-Release Tablets?"
Sodium chloride sustained-release tablets are used to treat and prevent hypokalemia. If potassium loss occurs, potassium salts should be replenished promptly to prevent the occurrence of hypokalemia. For existing hypokalemia, sodium chloride sustained-release tablets can be taken to alleviate it, which can effectively improve the discomfort caused by the disease and achieve a certain therapeutic effect. The main component of potassium chloride sustained-release tablets is potassium chloride, whose main role is to replenish the potassium ions lacking in the human body. These methods are mainly used clinically for the following purposes:
1. It can supplement hypokalemia caused by insufficient food intake, severe vomiting, and diarrhea.
2. To prevent patients from developing hypokalemia, such as long-term bedridden patients or patients who cannot eat independently.
3. Some patients may experience multifocal premature beats or rapid arrhythmia after digoxin poisoning, and this medication can be used for treatment.
4. When patients are potassium deficient, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of hypokalemia, especially when the harm to the patient is greater (e.g., patients receiving digoxin). In such cases, preventive potassium salt supplementation is required, such as eating little, severe or chronic diarrhea, long-term use of adrenal cortical hormones, potassium-losing nephropathy, Bartter's syndrome, etc.
