Potassium chloride has many uses such as being a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride). Research I have gathered states that this pill works by providing a direct replacement of potassium in the body.
Potassium chloride is in the class of drugs called potassium supplements that are used to prevent hypokalaemia.
NOTE: Orally, KCl is toxic in excess.

After reading all of the questions and replies, I am still mildly confused as to the difference if any in the CR and SR that appears after Potassium Chl. I get the CR is Controlled Release but is SR for Sodium Free? This supplement has a lot of different letters associalted with it and can make it confusing to know exactly how much you are taking and what you should or should not take.
