Your webpage on RenaKare says it can interact with glucocorticoids like prednisolone. However, I asked my vet about this and she checked her sources and could not find any info. on such an interaction. What is your source for this information so I can share it with her? Also, if there IS an interaction, how far apart should these two drugs be spaced? My cat is on both. Thank you?
-
Gastrointestinal irritation is a potential adverse event associated with potassium supplements. Gastrointestinal irritation including ulceration are potential adverse events associated with glucocorticosteroid administration. While there is not a direct interaction or reason the two drugs cannot be administered together, your veterinarian may want to more closely monitor your pet while taking both medications.

I have a small, old cat. She needs potassium supplements, but dislikes the gel intensely (keeps working her mouth and drooling, manages to get most of it out). Note: She takes her laxative in gel form without problem. She eats only dry food, so the powder-in-the-wet-food trick won't work. We ordered gel caps, but they are huge (size 0). So how big are the RenaCare 2 mEq tablets??
-
To approximate, the tablets are slightly smaller than a dime. Please contact your cat's veterinarian regarding any other concerns you may have about your cat taking tablets.

-

I have been using Tumil K tablets. Need to find another brand of pill formula. Is RenaKare the same as Tumil K? Are there any differences? This is for a cat.?
-
Tumil K tablets and RenaKare tablets both contain 2 mEq (468 mg) of potassium gluconate. The only difference between these two products would be the inactive ingredients they contain. The inactive ingredients are used to help formulate the tablets. Talk with your veterinarian if you have any other questions regarding your cat's therapy. Thank you, VetRxDirect
