Answer:
double what the doctor prescribed to you- he prescribed you that amount based on blood check results, this is a very sensitive drug, if needed but taken, or taken more than the recommended dose prescribed, it can harm you more than other meds could

You should ask a Real Doctor more or less Dosages regardless of whether people within here are right. Your life is on the flash...
Planning a lethal injection? Make sure you get hold of an anesthesiologist to assist you as this is pretty painful minus being dopped up.
Lethal Injection dosage: 100 mEq (milliequivalents)
So the two things contained by the KCl tablets to worry just about are the K+ and Cl-. Now, I assume you're taking these for a potassium supplement, so I would avoid taking over 4,000 mg a day. That's the usual recommended dose of potassium. So, since you probably take some within the normal diet, I would not appropriate more than 2,000 mg.
Chlorine ions are also involved with electrical impulse. The reason why it stops the heart is because it cause imbalances near the ions that cause the firings that pace the heart.
