HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Gluconate 595 mg by 21st Century

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Potassium” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (99 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium gluconate, supplying 595 mg of potassium per tablet. Potassium is an electrolyte your body needs for nerve and muscle function, including your heartbeat and blood pressure regulation.

The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that give the tablet its form.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mineral balance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: electrolyte balance, hypokalemia, potassium deficiency.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The product facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for potassium gluconate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the evidence for its specific uses isn't established in the data we have on file.

If you're considering this for a particular condition, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's right for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Potassium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Potassium taken by mouth is generally well tolerated, but it can cause stomach upset — abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, belching, and flatulence are the most common side effects. Rare but serious effects from high potassium levels include irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, and confusion.

While dietary potassium is fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the facts advise using supplements only under medical guidance in both cases. People with kidney disease face special risk because their kidneys can't filter extra potassium effectively — talk with your doctor before starting, especially if kidney function is a concern for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Potassium

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 62 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, ask your pharmacist or doctor about potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs. All three raise the risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with potassium supplements — these are Moderate-severity interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Potassium gluconate is worth considering if your doctor or pharmacist has recommended a potassium supplement and ruled out kidney disease. If you take blood pressure medication — especially ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics — you absolutely need to check with your pharmacist before starting this.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require medical approval, not just over-the-counter use.

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Potassium Gluconate 595 mg by 21st Century: Common Questions

Does Potassium Gluconate 595 mg by 21st Century interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Gluconate 595 mg has a known interaction with 62 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Potassium Gluconate 595 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data shows potassium from your normal diet is fine, but supplements need medical approval during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they'll know your full health picture and can advise you.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people experience mild stomach issues — nausea, diarrhea, belching, or cramping. Serious side effects from high potassium levels are rare but real: irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, and confusion. If you notice any of those, stop and call your doctor right away.
Is potassium safe if I have kidney disease?
No — kidneys are responsible for filtering out extra potassium, so supplements can build up to dangerous levels if your kidneys aren't working well. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any kidney issues before taking this.
Why can't I just get potassium from food?
Potassium from a normal diet is safe and fine for most people. Supplements deliver much higher amounts in one dose, which is why they need medical guidance — especially if you take certain blood pressure medications or have kidney problems.
