-   Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
-   Hypersensitivity to a potassium dose, e.g. for adynamia episodica hereditaria and paramyotonia congenita.
-   All types of hyperkalaemia as a further potassium intake can lead to arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest.
-   Hyperkalaemia can also lead to complications in the following diseases: marked renal failure, diseases with considerable cell destruction (e.g. trauma, burns, severe haemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, dissolution of tumour tissue), untreated Addison's disease, hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism and decompensated metabolic acidosis and acute dehydration states.
-   Marked renal failure even if there is no evident hyperkalaemia present.
-   Concomittant use of potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride).
-   As with all potassium preparations, this medicinal product is contraindicated for patients with delayed or reduced gastrointestinal transit, partial or total oesophageal occlusion, e.g.
due to a carcinoma (of the oesophagus, trachea or thyroid gland), aortic aneurysm, left- ventricular dilatation, inflamed strictures due to reflux oesophagitis and oesophagus displacements following cardiac surgery (e.g. valve replacement).
-   Any stenoses or atonias within the entire gastrointestinal tract (e.g. pyloric stenoses, enterosterosis).
