Prescription Potassium Chloride

Hi, I daily take Klor-Con potassium supplement, which gives me 1500 mg.of potassium chloride. I take this to counter depletion by Lasix (for blood pressure). How do I (do I?) add these things to my nutrients to track them?

  • Search for "Potassium Chloride" in the food database - it's in there. Create a daily repeating item for that item, indicating your dosage (pay attention to units - grams / milligrams, etc.).

    I take a daily prescription vitamin and did this so that my total intake of that vitamin (including the prescription, my daily multivitamin, and foods I eat) is more accurate.

  • I also take 1500 mg of potassium chloride, but Cronometer won't log it correctly. I enter Postassium Chloride 1.5g, but it logs 786.7 mg. It should be 1500mg.
