Injection safety details

The article only lists the safe level. It should also list the fatality level. Also it should say if it is a pure KCl injection, or if there is some liquid involved too. Jidanni (talk) 03:05, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Use in vaccines

According to point 6 in this paper, potassium chloride is an ingredient of the Pfizer Covid vaccine: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/941452/Information_for_healthcare_professionals.pdf

I'm not a specialist in this area and don't know why potassium chloride is being used in the vaccine. However, although this is clearly a medical use of potassium chloride, there is no mention of using potassium chloride in vaccines in this article. Should something be added?

high alert medication

I added a fact that it is a high alert medication but it got reverted. Should it go in the article somewhere? (anon)

What is a "high alert" medication ? Need a reliable source that says it (and why it's notable). - Rod57 (talk) 13:18, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
