How would I know if I have high potassium level?

Are there any medicines to avoid while we take K Stall Powder?

Additionally, the doctors should be informed about any history of use of medicines like thyroxine tablets or lithium for mania or bipolar disorder. Concomitant use of sorbitol is not recommended.

Does K Stall Powder cause damage to the gut?

No, it does not damage your gut when prescribed for certain conditions. However, in some cases it can lead to gut damage if you take this medication along with sweetener like sorbitol (used to sweeten food). Using these together can cause narrowing of the gut wall and reduced blood flow to the gut wall. This may cause severe damage to your gut.
