Potassium-magnesium citrate versus potassium chloride in thiazide-induced hypokalemia. The purpose of this study was to compare the value of potassium-magnesium citrate (KMgCit) with potassium chloride in overcoming thiazide-induced hypokalemia. Sixty normal subjects first took hydrochlorothiazide (...
