Expiration Date For Potassium Tablets

i have some Klor-Con 8meq tablets that are 3 years old and I want to know if it is safe to take them. I am currently on this medication again, (being given with my blood pressure medicine) and I wanted to know if I can take the ones I have on hand.

Since they are that old, there's likely been a good bit of degradation, so you probably won't get the full dose, if much at all.

How did you have them stored?

If it somewhere such as a bathroom medicine chest, where they were exposed to heat and moisture, that would really accelerate the degradation.

I have since gotten a new prescription because I felt they would not be as effective. They had been stored on the shelf in my linen closet.

Thank you for your reply to my post, but better to be safe than sorry.
