potassium-bicarbonate and Exubera combination pack 15 Interactions

Interactions between potassium-bicarbonate(potassium bicarbonate) and Exubera combination pack 15 (insulin inhalation, rapid acting)

potassium bicarbonate and insulin inhalation, rapid acting (Minor Drug-Drug)

Limited data suggest that potassium repletion may partially or completely reverse glucose intolerance in some patients with liver cirrhosis. The effect of insulin may be potentiated, and the risk of hypoglycemia increased. The mechanism by which potassium improves glucose tolerance has not been established, but it apparently does not involve a further increase in the already excessive insulin secretion associated with cirrhosis. The implications for glucose intolerance in patients without liver cirrhosis are not known.
