Synergistic for Cesium Toxicity Uptake/Retention: 

Potassium deficiency

How to Decrease Cesium Toxicity Uptake/Retention: 

Potassium supplementation

Cesium Toxicity Physiological Interactions: 

Inhibits potassium current in myocardial cells, increases intracellular pH may affect erythrocytes, liver, and central nervous system.

Symptoms of Cesium Toxicity:
