Potassium Chloride?

I wish all these damn surgeons would do things the same. So...did anyone have to take Potassium Chloride after surgery? If so, do you know what it was for? Also, do you have a recommendation on how to make it a little easier to take? Thanks Melissa

Melissa its an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance, levels of acidity, blood pressure, and neuromuscular function. This mineral also plays a critical role in the transmission of electrical impulses in the heart.

Well, why does something so important have to taste so nasty?! My mom is supposed to take it four times a day but she just can't get herself to. And my mom can drink/eat ANYTHING. It's BAD.

I think if she calls around it might come in a jell capsule too.. but not sure.
