10 meq on potassium chloride is equal to 750mg of potassium chloride. This can't be directly converted to potassium carbonate because the salts yield different physical weights.
A man rarely develops a potassium deficiency as a result of inadequate dietary intake of potassium, although it is possible. Most potassium deficiencies occur as a result of long-term use of diuretics, laxatives and steroids. Chronic vomiting and diarrhea also can cause a potassium deficiency in men. Chronic kidney diseases can lead to hypokalemia, as well.
the doctor would have discussed this with you
quote from mayo clinic staff
low potassium ( hypokalemia) has many causes
the most common cause is excessive potassium loss in passed water waste due to prescription water or fluid pills ( diuretics)
vomiting or diarreha or both can result in excessive potassium loss from the digestive tract
only rarely is low potassium caused by not getting enough potassium in your diet
Causes of potassium loss leading to low potassium include
chronic kidney disease
diabetic ketoacidosis
diarrhea
excessive alcohol use
excessive laxative use
excessive sweating
folic acid deficiency
prescription water or fluid pills
primary aldosteronism
vomiting
some antibiotic use
pick any or all of the causes that apply to your situation and discuss it with your doctor or health professional
Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant medication that is typically used to treat muscle spasms and pain caused by sprains, strains, and other muscle injuries. The length of time that cyclobenzaprine is good for depends on several factors, including the strength of the medication and how it is stored.
Typically, cyclobenzaprine has a shelf life of about 2-3 years when stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. It is important to check the expiration date on the medication before using it, and to discard any medication that has expired.
Once you open the bottle, you should use the medication within the time frame specified on the package or by the pharmacist. If you no longer need the medication, or if it has expired, you should dispose of it properly, in accordance with the guidance of your pharmacist or healthcare provider.
Keep in mind that medication can lose potency or become contaminated if not stored properly. It's important to store cyclobenzaprine in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture, and to keep the bottle or package tightly closed when not in use.
If you have any doubts or questions about the quality or expiration of your medication, please consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider for guidance.
That would be a potassium deficiency. You can drench with a solution of potassium nitrate but this will not correct those already showing the symptoms. They will ripen and be edible, fine for making sauce, but will not clear. The next set should be fine after drenching.

Common name is the name what people call it, it usually gives you no idea as to what the chemical composition of the compound is. (eg: Common name for Sodium Chloride is Salt) whereas the chemical name is based on what the compound is made up of (A molecule of salt is made up of one atom of Sodium and one atom of chlorine. this can be understood from the chemical name, but not from the common name.)
