Brief Answer:
possible Side effect of Potassium Chloride

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
This is possible side effect of potassium chloride, although not very common so other causes of diarrhea should be considered if condition doesn't improve within 3-4 days after last dose of medication.

Try to drink at least 3 liters of fluids per day and eat easier food, natural probiotics (yogurt) and vegetables.

Wish you good health.
