Product Overview

Aspara Potassium Tablets 300mg is a high-quality Japanese medication used to supplement potassium levels in the body. Each film-coated tablet contains L-Aspartic Acid Potassium 300 mg, providing about 1.8 mEq of potassium. It is typically used to treat or prevent low potassium (hypokalemia) in various situations, such as when potassium is lost due to long-term use of certain medications (like diuretics, corticosteroids, or insulin) or after severe vomiting, diarrhea, or surgery. This product is manufactured in Japan by Nipro Corporation under strict quality standards. Potassium L-aspartate is known for its excellent absorption and utilization in the body, helping to quickly restore vital potassium levels. Maintaining proper potassium levels is essential for healthy nerve function, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.

Dosage Guidelines

For adults, the usual dosage is 3–9 tablets per day, taken orally in three divided doses. In some cases, the dose may be increased up to 10 tablets at a time (equivalent to 3 g of active ingredient) depending on the patient’s condition. Always follow the recommended dosage instructions and do not adjust the dose on your own. Take each dose with a full glass of water. If you experience stomach upset, taking the tablets after meals may help reduce irritation.

Possible Side Effects

• Gastrointestinal discomfort: Some users may experience nausea, loss of appetite, or a heavy feeling in the stomach.
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus): A few cases of tinnitus have been reported.
• High potassium levels (hyperkalemia): Taking too much or using this product in patients with kidney problems could lead to elevated potassium, which may cause symptoms like irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, or numbness.
• If you notice any severe side effects or signs of hyperkalemia (such as significant muscle weakness or heart rhythm changes), stop taking the tablets and seek medical attention immediately.

FAQ

What if I miss a dose?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.

How should I store this medication?

Store Aspara Potassium Tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed, and store it out of reach of children.

Is it safe to take long-term?

This medication can be taken long-term under medical supervision if needed. For extended use, it is recommended to have periodic check-ups, including blood tests for potassium levels, kidney function, and heart monitoring (ECG), to ensure continued safety. With proper monitoring, long-term use is generally considered safe when used as directed.

Can I take it on an empty stomach?

You can take Aspara Potassium with or without food. However, taking it on an empty stomach might cause mild stomach upset in some people. If you experience any nausea or gastric discomfort, try taking your dose after a meal to help minimize irritation.

Can I take it with other medications?

Caution is advised when taking Aspara Potassium alongside other medications. In particular, avoid combining it with drugs that increase potassium levels, such as potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g. spironolactone), ACE inhibitors, ARBs, certain heart failure medications, NSAIDs, or other potassium supplements, without medical advice. Using these together can raise the risk of hyperkalemia. Always inform your healthcare provider about all other medications or supplements you are taking. In many cases, your doctor may recommend monitoring your potassium levels if Aspara Potassium is used with other medicines.
