Potassium gluconate is used to prevent or to treat low blood levels of potassium (hypokalemia). Potassium levels can be low as a result of a disease or from taking certain medicines, or after a prolonged illness with diarrhea or vomiting.
Potassium gluconate is recommended for introducing or enriching potassium in food, especially in dietetic food. Furthermore the product acts as a buffer salt and as a salt replacer in foodstuffs where sodium salts are not desired.
In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a potassium source against potassium deficiency or as a systemic alkaliser.
The newly directly compressible form potassium gluconate shows optimal tableting properties due to its amorphous structure.
