RenaKare (potassium gluconate) Gel
RenaKare (Potassium Gluconate) is a potassium supplement, dispensed by Mixlab for veterinary use in dogs and cats. Available by prescription.
RenaKare provides potassium gluconate, a source of potassium, a mineral involved in normal muscle, nerve, and cardiac function. It is intended to help address low blood potassium levels in dogs and cats, such as those that can occur with certain kidney conditions or with some medications. Your veterinarian determines whether potassium supplementation is appropriate based on bloodwork. This product is not approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness.
Potassium levels should be monitored with periodic bloodwork while your pet is on this product, since both low and high potassium levels can affect heart rhythm.
