Potassium Chloride (KCl) plays a critical role in modern pharmaceutical formulations due to its electrolyte-balancing and cell function-supporting properties. Whether it’s used in injectables, oral rehydration salts (ORS), or tablet formulations, pharma-grade KCl is essential for maintaining potassium levels in patients with deficiency, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalance.
At Chemignition Laboratory, we supply high-purity Potassium Chloride conforming to IP/BP/USP/EP grades, trusted by global pharma brands.
Why Potassium Chloride Is Used in Pharma
Potassium Chloride is an essential mineral supplement used in pharmaceuticals for:
- Treating hypokalemia (low potassium levels)
- Formulating intravenous (IV) fluids
- Electrolyte replacement in ORS formulations
- Formulating controlled-release tablets and capsules
- Nutritional supplements and parenteral nutrition

With over 10 years of expertise, we ensure GMP compliance and provide reliable, high-quality solutions.
It’s widely used in both oral and injectable formulations due to its high solubility, purity, and bioavailability.
Grades of KCl Used in Pharma
| Grade | Application |
|---|---|
| IP Grade | Indian Pharmacopoeia – ORS, IV, tablets |
| BP Grade | British Pharmacopoeia – Injectables, IV fluids |
| USP Grade | U.S. Pharmacopoeia – IV drips, capsules |
| EP Grade | European Pharmacopoeia – Oral and parenteral |
Key Pharmaceutical Applications of Potassium Chloride
1. Intravenous Fluids
Used in IV drips for patients undergoing surgery or suffering dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. KCl replenishes potassium levels and restores neuromuscular function.
2. Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS)
KCl is a critical component in ORS sachets to help restore lost electrolytes during diarrhea, vomiting, or heat exposure.
3. Tablets and Capsules
Used in potassium supplements in solid oral dosage forms (SODF) to treat hypokalemia caused by diuretics or kidney disease.
4. Dialysis Fluids
Used in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis fluids to regulate potassium concentration in blood.
5. Nutritional Products
Present in parenteral nutrition formulas and IV multivitamin/mineral mixtures.
