Hypokalemia associated with ticarcillin-clavulanic acid
Abstract
Charts of 16 patients on ticarcillin-clavulanic acid were examined. Eight patients were found to have hypokalemia, yet not all were screened routinely for potassium imbalance. Some physicians prescribing ticarcillin-clavulanic acid seem unaware of the drug's side effect.
