There are dangers to taking too much potassium without a doctor regularly checking your blood work. Before starting potassium citrate, get a baseline serum potassium; have a 24º urinary citrate level done. Low citrate is expected with PKD and with high blood pressure. Through your doctor get a serum potassium drawn twice a week, if normal then every week, if normal then every 2 weeks, then once a month, every 3 months, every six months. Familiarize yourself with high and low potassium symptoms and go to the ER/doctor immediately for a serum potassium if you do not feel well. 15 mEq of potassium daily would be 6 - 10 OTC tablets if these OTC are 99 mg each.
