Sando-K Effervescent Tablets are used for the prevention and treatment of hypokalaemic states such as those associated with:
- Use of drugs which can induce potassium depletion eg. frusemide, thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, carbenoxolone and cardiac glycosides, especially in combination with diuretics;
- Potassium loss resulting from severe diarrhoea, vomiting or fistulas;
- Acid-base disturbances e.g. alkalosis, renal tubular acidosis, states in which there is aldosterone excess, Cushing syndrome;
- Decreased intake of potassium e.g. malnutrition, alcoholism, some elderly patients with deficient diets;
Since SANDO-K Effervescent Tablets contain Cl- they may be used in the treatment of hypokalaemia associated with hypochloraemic alkalosis.

Large doses may be indicated in more severe hypokalaemic conditions when the dose should be regulated by the patient's response as determined by serum electrolyte levels and acid-base studies.
