Hi,
Thank you for your question. Potassium chloride has been associated with increased urination as a side effect . This may be because the potassium is in a salt form, the salt is making you thirsty, and you're drinking more. If you'd like to read more about potassium chloride, you can do so here.
Best of luck,
Casey
