Potassium Acetate is a potassium salt employed to replenish electrolytes, for restoration of water-electrolyte balance, as well as a urinary and systemic alkalizer. Potassium Acetate can be administered orally or by intravenous infusion. Formerly, It was employed in diuretics and expectorants. Potassium Acetate is hygroscopic and insoluble in ether.
