Hello,

As a physician, as per knowledge, Headache is not a side effect of tab. potassium cl. I think in your case cause of headache would be something different.

For headache, now you can take tablet Nicip. I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the physician if not get relief.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
