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
