will potassium gluconate help with spasms
It is no acid at all! KC2H3O2 is potassium acetate, of which the acetate anion C2H3O2- is a weak base, pKb = 9.22 and potassium ions are neutral, hence of no effect on pH.
Low levels of potassium interfere with cellular processes, causing general weakness, heart problems and blood pressure issues.
You need to monitor potassium levels because Lasix tends to deplete potassium.
Yes
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
Mannitol is used to treat edema. People that suffer the side effect of anaphylaxis shock can use the antidote of epinephrine to counteract the Mannitol.
yes
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.
Does lasix cause muscle weakness as a side effect
Hypocalcemia
Lasix and furosemide are two different medications. One is a prescription water pill and the other is potassium. On a typical drug screen, no. But if its a specific screen where EVERYTHING is looked at, then yes it will show. However, neither are illegal.
it decomposes into potassium nitrite and oxygen.

Loop diuretics, such as bumetanide (Bumex) and furosemide (Lasix), get their name from the loop-shaped part of the kidneys where they have their effect.
