<s>[INST] I just had blood test and showed potassium level at 3.2. Dr put me on potassium chloride 10meq once a day.  When is best time of day to take it?  I take 20 mg omepraxole first thing in the am.  5 mg of amlodipine after breakfast and 5 mg of methimazole after lunch and 500 mg of VIt C at night.  Thanks. [/INST] Your potassium level is low normal. So iv you have symptoms of hypokalemia then its necessary to take potassium.  Otherwise it will lead to life threatening problems. so you should take it as per your physician advice. Dont take it lightly. It is very necessary to maintain potassium level within normal range. On other side ig should not increase also. So follow your doctor. </s>
