An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.1. For the treatment of patients with hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis, in digitalis intoxication, and in patients with hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis. If hypokalemia is the result of diuretic therapy, consideration should be given to the use of a lower dose of diuretic, which may be sufficient without leading to hypokalemia.
2. For the prevention of hypokalemia in patients who would be at particular risk if hypokalemia were to develop, eg, digitalized patients or patients with significant cardiac arrhythmias.
The use of Potassium (Icee) salts in patients receiving diuretics for uncomplicated essential hypertension is often unnecessary when such patients have a normal dietary pattern and when low doses of the diuretic are used. Serum Potassium (Icee) should be checked periodically, however, and if hypokalemia occurs, dietary supplementation with Potassium (Icee)-containing foods may be adequate to control milder cases. In more severe cases, and if dose adjustment of the diuretic is ineffective or unwarranted, supplementation with Potassium (Icee) salts may be indicated.

Dosing Instructions
Treatment with extended release Potassium (Icee) Citrate should be added to a regimen that limits salt intake (avoidance of foods with high salt content and of added salt at the table) and encourages high fluid intake (urine volume should be at least two liters per day). The objective of treatment with Potassium (Icee) Citrate extended-release tablets is to provide Potassium (Icee) Citrate in sufficient dosage to restore normal urinary citrate (greater than 320 mg/day and as close to the normal mean of 640 mg/day as possible), and to increase urinary pH to a level of 6 or 7.
Monitor serum electrolytes (sodium, Potassium (Icee), chloride and carbon dioxide), serum creatinine and complete blood counts every four months and more frequently in patients with cardiac disease, renal disease or acidosis. Perform electrocardiograms periodically. Treatment should be discontinued if there is hyperkalemia, a significant rise in serum creatinine or a significant fall in blood hemocrit or hemoglobin.
Severe Hypocitraturia
In patients with severe hypocitraturia (urinary citrate < 150 mg/day), therapy should be initiated at a dosage of 60 mEq/day (30 mEq two times/day or 20 mEq three times/day with meals or within 30 minutes after meals or bedtime snack). Twenty-four hour urinary citrate and/or urinary pH measurements should be used to determine the adequacy of the initial dosage and to evaluate the effectiveness of any dosage change. In addition, urinary citrate and/or pH should be measured every four months. Doses of Potassium (Icee) Citrate extended-release tablets greater than 100 mEq/day have not been studied and should be avoided.
Mild to Moderate Hypocitraturia
In patients with mild to moderate hypocitraturia (urinary citrate > 150 mg/day) therapy should be initiated at 30 mEq/day (15 mEq two times/day or 10 mEq three times/day with meals or within 30 minutes after meals or bedtime snack). Twenty-four hour urinary citrate and/or urinary pH measurements should be used to determine the adequacy of the initial dosage and to evaluate the effectiveness of any dosage change. Doses of Potassium (Icee) Citrate extended-release tablet greater than 100 mEq/day have not been studied and should be avoided.

What is the most important information I should know about Potassium (Icee)?
Potassium (Icee) supplements are contraindicated in patients with hyperkalemia since a further increase in serum Potassium (Icee) concentration in such patients can produce cardiac arrest. Hyperkalemia may complicate any of the following conditions: chronic renal failure, systemic acidosis, such as diabetic acidosis, acute dehydration, extensive tissue breakdown as in severe burns, adrenal insufficiency, or the administration of a Potassium (Icee)-sparing diuretic (eg, spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride).
Controlled-release formulations of Potassium (Icee) Chloride have produced esophageal ulceration in certain cardiac patients with esophageal compression due to enlarged left atrium. Potassium (Icee) supplementation, when indicated in such patients, should be given as a liquid preparation or as an aqueous (water) suspension of Potassium (Icee) Chloride.
All solid oral dosage forms of Potassium (Icee) Chloride are contraindicated in any patient in whom there is structural, pathological (eg, diabetic gastroparesis), or pharmacologic (use of anticholinergic agents or other agents with anticholinergic properties at sufficient doses to exert anticholinergic effects) cause for arrest or delay in tablet passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
Tannic acid (Icee) should not be used
- If you are hypersensitive (allergic) to synthetic tanning agent or any of the other ingredients
are Tannic acid (Icee)
- On the eye
Use: Labeled Indications
Used topically as an antiseptic in the management of minor, superficial skin wounds and has been used to disinfect the skin preoperatively
There are specific as well as general uses of a drug or medicine. A medicine can be used to prevent a disease, treat a disease over a period or cure a disease. It can also be used to treat the particular symptom of the disease. The drug use depends on the form the patient takes it. It may be more useful in injection form or sometimes in tablet form. The drug can be used for a single troubling symptom or a life-threatening condition. While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.This medication is a mineral supplement used to treat or prevent low amounts of Potassium (Icee) in the blood. A normal level of Potassium (Icee) in the blood is important. Potassium (Icee) helps your cells, kidneys, heart, muscles, and nerves work properly. Most people get enough Potassium (Icee) by eating a well-balanced diet. Some conditions that can lower your body's Potassium (Icee) level include severe prolonged diarrhea and vomiting, hormone problems such as hyperaldosteronism, or treatment with "water pills"/diuretics.
How to use Potassium (Icee)
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 4 times daily. To prevent stomach upset, take each dose with a meal. Dissolve the prescribed number of tablets in at least 4 ounces (120 milliliters) of cold water or juice per tablet. After the tablets are fully dissolved, sip the liquid slowly over 5 to 10 minutes. If you have upset stomach, mixing your dose in a larger amount of liquid may help.
Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if you have symptoms of low Potassium (Icee) in the blood (such as irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness/cramps).
There is a potential risk of interaction with lithium, resulting in an increased possibility of hypothyroidism.
this medicineshould not be used concomitantly with mercurial antiseptics, e.g. mercurochrome and thiomersal.
Since Iodine (Icee) may be absorbed systemically, the result of tests of the thyroid function can be influenced.

What are the possible side effects of Iodine (Icee)?
Iodine (Icee) and iodides, whether applied topically or given systemically, can give rise to hypersensitivity reactions which may include urticaria, angioedema, cutaneous haemorrhage or purpuras, fever, arthralgia, lymphadenopathy, and eosinophilia.
Inhalation of Iodine (Icee) vapour is very irritating to mucous membranes.
Iodine (Icee) and iodides have variable effects on the thyroid and can produce goitre and hypothyroidism as well as hyperthyroidism (the Iod-Basedow or Jod-Basedow phenomenon). Goitre and hypothyroidism have also occurred in infants born to mothers who had taken iodides during pregnancy.
Prolonged use may lead to a range of adverse effects, often called ’iodism’, some of which may again be due to hypersensitivity. Adverse effects include metallic taste, increased salivation, burning or painful mouth; there may be acute rhinitis, coryza-like symptoms, and swelling and inflammation of the throat. Eyes may be irritated and swollen and there may be increased lachrymation. Pulmonary oedema, dyspnoea, and bronchitis may develop. Skin reactions include acneform or, more rarely, severe eruptions (iododerma). Other reported effects include depression, insomnia, impotence, headache, and gastrointestinal disturbances, notably nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Iodine (Icee) as oral and topical/cutaneous formulations is prescribed for the treatment of Iodine (Icee) deficiency disorders, pre-operative reduction of vascularity of thyroid glands, protection against radioactive Iodine (Icee), cutaneous or lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis, Grave’s disease, cleaning of minor or superficial wounds, thyroid storm and cleaning of wet wounds and ulcers.
Potassium (Icee) is the major cation (positive ion) inside animal cells, while sodium is the major cation outside animal cells. The concentration differences of these charged particles causes a difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of cells, known as the membrane potential. The balance between Potassium (Icee) and sodium is maintained by ion pumps in the cell membrane. The cell membrane potential created by Potassium (Icee) and sodium ions allows the cell generate an action potential—a "spike" of electrical discharge. The ability of cells to produce electrical discharge is critical for body functions such as neurotransmission, muscle contraction, and heart function. Potassium (Icee) is also an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance, blood pressure and levels of acidity.
