The pill in description is Potassium Chloride ER (750 mg).

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.
