It can be, but its pretty safe as long as you take milk thistle with it and for a couple of weeks after you finish your cycle. Every pro hormone can be harmful to your liver if you don't take precautions. As long as you take milk thistle you should be safe.
== == Yes. Vegetarianism is safe at any age.
The first question would be to ask why the potassium is elevated. do you take a potassium supplement? Do you have trouble with your kidneys? What does your doctor say? There are drugs that will decrease potassium but they must be administered and monitored under the care of a physician.
Generally, it is not safe for a 14 year old guy to take Hydroxycut or any other weight loss supplement. Any type of supplement should be cleared with a doctor before consumption.
Always check with your doctor if a supplement is right for you or has interactions with medications you may be taking. There are many safe supplements such as meal replacement shakes and vitamins and minerals. More is not always better. Once your doctor okays a supplement for you to use take it as directed.
Unless the rest of the food you eat through the rest of the day are completely devoid of potassium, you are getting small amounts of potassium through the other foods you eat throughout the day. So unless you are training like an Olympic athlete and eating nothing but Ding-Dongs and other junk, you probably aren't going to drop dead from a potassium deficiency if you don't take a potassium supplement.
methylprednisone is safe to take every 2 months
It is always best to ask your doctor prior to use.
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!
