Hypokal tablets aid in the treatment of chronic potassium deficiency (hypokalaemia) in cats. The active ingredient in Hypokal is Potassium (as Gluconate) 78mg (2mEq) in each tablet.
Hypokalaemia (chronic potassium depletion), a result of inadequate dietary potassium intake relative to excessive urinary potassium losses, has been shown to be significantly associated with chronic renal failure, hepatic disease, systemic infectious diseases, and neuromuscular or central nervous system disease.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended dose of Hypokal Potassium Supplement for Cats in severe cases of hypokalaemia (<2.5mEq/L) is 4-8mEq (2-4 tablets) every 24 hours in two divided doses with food.
- Continue the administration until the hypokalaemia resolves.
- Constant monitoring of serum potassium levels is necessary.
- The dosage may be adjusted to meet the patient's requirements, particularly where used as a long term supplement.
- Hypokal tablets should only be used as advised by your veterinarian.

Great pricing and speedy delivery
So happy when a friend recommended Pet Chemist for the medication needed for my cat. Hypokal through Pet Chemist is so much more affordable and much cheaper than the price I paid previously purchased directly from my Vet. Delivery is always super fast and medication is packed well too! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic - a life saver and a great price
18 months ago my 14 year old cat suddenly could not walk, he could not raise his head, he had weakness in his muscles. The vet diagnosed a lack of potassium. We had a few scary months before we got his dose right, but now he is a happy healthy old man. He has to take 4 of these a day so the price from Pet Chemist is fantastic! Order delivered on time too! Thank you!

Hypokal
Great item. Though the measurement is abit confusing as there are two - mg and mEq. Also very hard to track in vet stores. But very easy to get on petchemist
