My doctor recently prescribed Klor-Con for my low potassium levels. Since I started taking it, I feel a bit bloated and the scale seems to be creeping up. I'm worried if this medicine is actually causing me to gain weight.

Honestly, weight changes can happen with many prescription meds, but Klor-Con is basically potassium. I always try to focus on coconut water and bananas for natural potassium, but if your doctor specifically prescribed this, please don't stop it on your own. If you are experiencing sudden swelling or heavy breathing, go see your doc immediately.
