How much potassium gluconate should you take for low potassium levels due to Hydrochlorathiamide?
If you are taking hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), the diuretic, it may cause you to excrete potassium in the urine that must then be replaced in the diet to keep your blood levels normal. Often doctors will suggest you include a high-potassium food each day, such as a banana or a glass of orange juice, or potatoes. If this does not keep your potassium blood level normal, then you may be prescribed a potassium supplement. How much YOU need depends on YOUR blood test (because it depends on how much HCTZ you are on and what amount of potassium is normally present in your diet). Your doctor will adjust your potassium supplement based on monitored blood tests to keep your blood potassium level within normal range. You should not try to take an amount that you guess will work based on what someone else takes. This needs to be a prescription from your MD!
