Description

What Are Sando-K Effervescent Tablets

Sando-K contains potassium chloride and potassium bicarbonate – electrolytes used to raise and maintain healthy potassium levels in the body. Potassium plays an essential role in normal nerve function, muscle activity, and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.

Sando-K is typically prescribed to treat or prevent low potassium (hypokalaemia) caused by factors such as diuretic medicines, digestive losses, or inadequate dietary intake.

Low potassium can occur due to:

• Vomiting or diarrhoea

• Certain kidney conditions

Common symptoms of low potassium include:
