We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Klor-Con’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Klor-Con’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Klor-Con itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

    FDA label

The FDA doesn’t rate Actavis Pharma, Advagen Pharma, Camber Pharmaceuticals, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Slate Run Pharmaceuticals and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries’s versions of potassium chloride a substitute for Klor-Con, so a pharmacy can’t swap them in without your prescriber’s OK.

Who sells it: FDA and Medicaid records, updated weekly. Each maker’s page, card and program is from its own site.

What to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Klor-Con, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

KLOR-CON is a potassium salt, indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis in patients for whom dietary management with potassium-rich foods or diuretic dose reduction is insufficient.
