Características farmacológicas
Potássio regula impulsos nervosos, contração muscular e equilíbrio ácido-base. Sintomas de falta aparecem quando níveis sanguíneos caem abaixo de 3,5 mmol/L: fraqueza, paralisia, arritmias.
Farmacocinética
Absorção
Liberação gradual no trato digestivo quando administrado oralmente.
Eliminação
90% eliminado pelos rins em 8 horas; 98% em 24 horas.
Segurança pré-clínica
Baixa toxicidade oral. Sem evidência de risco reprodutivo ou cancerígeno relevante para humanos.
