what is the half life of Klor-Con?  I am a home health nurse with a patient who is complaining of moderate to severe abdominal pain after being D/Cd from the hospital on PO K+.  Pt received lasix in hospiital and required K+  protocol.  Previous labs were normal. If pt is taken off Klor-Con, how long will it take for the abdominal pain to subside?
