Linda Says:
I'm having my cervix removed on Friday and I've been directed to take this med 3 times/day for two days prior. Why? I'd already been taking potassium supplements every day to stop restless legs.

Hello, Linda! How are you?
Your potassium might have still been a little low, so you should follow the instructions that you've been provided.
It can be very harsh on the stomach, so the FDA warns that it should be taken with food and not on an empty stomach.
Is there anything else I can help with?
