Why would a physician give a diabetic lasix yet stop rx for potassium which is supposed to be taken when on diuretic medication?
Yes, sometimes when you take a diuretic you need to take potassium to ensure the proper level. However, the doctor will probably do regular blood work to check the potassium levels. If you are taking 20mg of lasix you may not need the potassium. If you are concerned don't be afraid to ask your doctor. Thanks, JM

How is taking a diuretic associated with hypokalemia?
some diuretics (like lasix, hydrochlorothiazide) lead to an increased loss of potassium with the urine. In some people this leads to hypokalemia after a usually prolonged interval (months). There are other diuretics and hypertension medications which decrease this effect and with a combination some people can regain a normal potassium balance. (kalium = potassium). Others may have to stop taking it, or, alternatively, take extra potassium.
