A member asked:
I read an article on a pharmaceutical blog comparing potassium gluconate to pot chloride. if you take 20 meq of pot chloride and run out it states that 8.5 tablets of pot glu is equal to 10 meq of pot chloride. so is it correct and ok to do this?

The difference between 8.5 meq and 10 meq as it relates to potassium is insignificant. Yes, it is OK.
