Hi,

Potklor syrup contains potassium chloride and is used to treat low potassium levels in the blood. Nausea, vomiting, irregular heart beat and increased potassium levels in the blood are the common side effects of the drug.

Oral infections do not occur with this drug. Oral candidiasis could be the cause and anti-fungal drugs are required for treatment. Blood sugar levels should also be checked.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
