There are not that many solid oral dosage forms regularly used in retail.
K-tab comes in 8, 10, and 20 mEq (WM in my area uses the Zydus authorized generic)
Klor Con tabs come in 8 mEq and 10 mEq (haven't seen this since CVS)
Klor Con M tabs (microencapsulated) come in 10 mEq, 15 mEq and 20 mEq
Klor Con caps (microencapsulated) come in 8 mEq and 10 mEq (ex: Perrigo)
Micro K caps come in 8 mEq and 10 mEq (Zydus authorized generic)

Doesn't it come in packets? I remember reading about Klor-Con packets in my studies for the PTCB. I feel like I saw them once or twice when I worked at my independent.
- AB1 ER Tabs
- These are the big fluffy looking ones. Can break these in half or crush them no problem.
- AB2 ER Tabs
- These are smaller and have a hard shell. Don't split them.
- ER Capsules
- Powder Packets
- Oral Solution
- Always stress to patients to DILUTE before drinking
Thank you! That makes sense. I find all the different potassiums, and diltiazems, and verapamils the most confusing part of retail.
Don't forget potassium bicarb, phosphate, citrate, etc...

Was looking for this...could have sworn there was such an article on PL (recent website change/update threw me for a loop). Thanks
You're welcome 🙂 . Diltiazem's are definitely the worst. IR Tabs, ER Tabs, 12h ER Caps, and I think 3 different kinds of 24h ER Caps.
