Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Limited data suggest that orally administered potassium chloride may decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin B12. The mechanism is believed to be a reduction in ileal pH by potassium chloride, which significantly decreases the activity of intrinsic factor that is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption. However, the interaction should rarely lead to clinically significant deficiency because the body (primarily the liver) usually has a copious supply of vitamin B12 that can sustain a person for several years in the absence of adequate intake. As for the treatment of B12 deficiency-related anemia, non-oral routes of administration (e.g., parenteral, intranasal, sublingual) are generally preferred, which would bypass the potential interaction.
