Hypokal tablets aid in the treatment of chronic potassium deficiency (hypokalaemia) in cats. The active ingredient in Hypokal is Potassium (as Gluconate) 78mg (2mEq) in each tablet.

Hypokalaemia (chronic potassium depletion), a result of inadequate dietary potassium intake relative to excessive urinary potassium losses, has been shown to be significantly associated with chronic renal failure, hepatic disease, systemic infectious diseases, and neuromuscular or central nervous system disease.

Dosage & Administration

The recommended dose of Hypokal Potassium Supplement for Cats in severe cases of hypokalaemia (<2.5mEq/L) is 4-8mEq (2-4 tablets) every 24 hours in two divided doses with food.

• Continue the administration until the hypokalaemia resolves.
• Constant monitoring of serum potassium levels is necessary.
• The dosage may be adjusted to meet the patient's requirements, particularly where used as a long term supplement.
• Hypokal tablets should only be used as advised by your veterinarian.
