There are so many potassium products out there. Is there a resource, other than orange book, that has concise, easy to access information on which products are interchangeable with others? Thank you.
 
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)
 
  • 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.
