| clavulanate potassium | A potassium salt having clavulanate as the counterion. It acts as a suicide inhibitor of bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes and has only weak anitbiotic activity when administered alone. However it can be used in combination with amoxicillin trihydrate (under the trade name Augmentin) for treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, where it prevents antibiotic inactivation by microbial lactamases. | potassium clavulanate |
| clorazepate dipotassium | The compound of monopotassium clorazepate with potassium hydroxide. It is used for the management of anxiety disorders, for the short-term relief of anxiety, as adjunctive therapy in the management of epilepsy, and for the symptomatic relief of acute alcohol withdrawal. | dipotassium clorazepate |
| fremy's salt | potassium nitrosodisulfonate | |
| potassium acetate | A potassium salt comprising equal numbers of potassium and acetate ions | potassium acetate |
| potassium bicarbonate | A potassium salt that is the monopotassium salt of carbonic acid. It has fungicidal properties and is used in organic farming for the control of powdery mildew and apple scab. | potassium hydrogencarbonate |
