Micro K

Micro K is used to treat or prevent low potassium levels in people who have potassium loss caused by digitalis (Lanoxin), non-potassium-sparing diuretics (such as Diuril and Dyazide), and certain diseases. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.
