Does klor con cause weight gain?

Question

I've been taking Klor-Con for my potassium levels, and I'm trying to keep track of any changes in my body. Does this medication usually cause any kind of weight gain?

Sanjay Vyas · Accepted Answer

No, it is just a potassium supplement, so it shouldn't cause weight gain. If you feel bloated, it might just be mild water retention; try reducing extra salt in your home-cooked meals.

Do not worry too much about these small changes. Keep your mind calm, eat fresh fruits, and take your prescribed supplements on time. Your health will stay fine.

Harish Mehta · Answer

Potassium supplements don't typically cause weight gain. However, sudden weight changes can indicate kidney or heart fluid issues, so you should definitely consult your doctor to be safe.

The cardiologists at my hospital explained that Klor-Con is just to maintain potassium levels and does not affect weight. If you are experiencing weight gain, please ask your doctor to check for fluid retention.

I've been taking it and haven't noticed any weight gain, though I still sleep like a log and blame my lazy lifestyle for my belly fat! It is just a mineral, so don't worry.

I have been taking potassium supplements for years for my BP issues. It never caused any weight gain for me. Just eat your normal roti-sabzi and stay active.
