Potassium bicarbonate supplements may have health benefits for some people. Certain groups of people, such as those with kidney disease, should not take potassium bicarbonate.

It’s important to discuss your specific medical needs and conditions with your doctor prior to using this supplement. Even though potassium bicarbonate is readily available as an OTC product, it’s best to use only per your doctor’s recommendations.

Having too much potassium in the body (hyperkalemia) can be as dangerous as having too little. It may even cause death. It’s important to discuss your specific medical needs with your doctor before taking supplements.

Too much potassium can cause:

• low blood pressure
• irregular heartbeat
• numbness or tingling sensation
• dizziness
• confusion
• weakness or paralysis of the limbs
• nausea and vomiting
• diarrhea
• flatulence
• cardiac arrest

In addition to pregnant and nursing people, those with specific disorders should not take this supplement. Others may require a lower dose based on their doctor’s recommendations. These conditions include:

• Addison’s disease
• kidney disease
• colitis
• intestinal blockage
• ulcers

Potassium Bicarbonate Rythimia may interfere or interact with certain medications, some of which affect potassium levels. These include:

• blood pressure medication, including diuretics
• ACE inhibitors, such as ramipril (Altace) and lisinopril (Zestril, Prinvil)
• nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve)

Potassium may also be added to certain foods, such as no- or low-salt substitutes. In order to avoid hyperkalemia, make sure to read all labels. Avoid products high in potassium if you’re using a potassium bicarbonate supplement.

Potassium bicarbonate is available as an over the counter (OTC) product. However, it’s not recommended that you use it without a doctor’s approval or prescription.
