Effer-K

Drug Info for effer-k

Potassium is essential for the proper functioning of the heart, kidneys, muscles, nerves, and digestive system. Usually the food you eat supplies all of the potassium you need. However, certain diseases (e.g., kidney disease and gastrointestinal disease with vomiting and diarrhea) and drugs, especially diuretics ('water pills'), remove potassium from the body. Potassium supplements are taken to replace potassium losses and prevent potassium deficiency. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Effer-K is used to treat patients with low potassium levels in the blood. Effer-K is a brand-name of Potassium Bicarbonate. On average, Effer-K is priced at about $13 for one box of 30 oral tablets, effervescent. You can use our OptionRx savings offer to get an average Effer-K discount of up to 80% off of the retail price at participating pharmacies near you.
