Sodium (Na+) is the major positive ion in the fluids outside of cells. The concentration of sodium inside cells is only about 5 mEq/L compared with 140 mEq/l outside. In normal people, taking potassium supplements or potassium containing drugs is of no consequences, because the kidneys effciently dispose of excess potassium.
