Losartan potassium contains approximately 85 milligrams of potassium per 100 milligrams of the medication. However, the actual amount of potassium you receive can vary based on the dosage of Losartan prescribed. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider about your potassium intake, especially if you are taking additional potassium supplements, to avoid potential complications.

IF ATP is vital to the sodium potassium pump how?

First, the pump is open to the inside of the cell. It naturally "likes"* the sodium (and "dislikes" potassium) so it attracts sodium ions. An ATP molecule then gives one of its phosphate groups to the pump, causing the pump to change. That ATP molecule is now and ADP molecule. With the addition of the phosphate group, the pump now "dislikes" sodium and "likes" potassium. So it closes and reopens to the outside of the cell, releasing the sodium. It attracts potassium ions. Next, the pump gives its phosphate group back to the ADP molecule. That ADP molecule is now an ATP molecule again. Without the phosphate group, the pump "likes" sodium and "dislikes" potassium again. So it closes and reopens to the inside of the cell, releasing the potassium into the cell. The pump now attracts sodium ions. The cycle starts again. For every three sodium ions released, two potassium ions enter. *"Likes" or "dislikes" refer the pump having a higher or lower affinity (attraction) for one of the two elements. To answer your question, the ATP molecule is the source and the receiver of the phosphate group, which changes whether the pump "likes" sodium or potassium.


Which element was once called kalium?

Potassium. Kalium is Latin. This is why the macro-nutrients listed on fertilizer bags and referenced to in the agricultural world as N-P-K. (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, the latter formerly referred to as Kalium.)


How much weight do you gain when taking steroids?

Weight gain on steroids can vary depending on the individual and the type of steroid being used. Water retention and increased muscle mass are common effects of steroid use, which can lead to weight gain. In some cases, significant weight gain may occur due to increased appetite and changes in metabolism.

Can you drink while taking losartan?

I took Enalopril and mixed with alcohol for years and it didn't seem to adversely affect me anymore than the alcohol itself would (hangover..etc..). I have recently been switched to Lotrel, but I haven't had any alcohol with it...yet... From what I have read, alcohol doesn't mix well with ANY medication. It can increase side effects and can hinder the positive effects of the medication. My understanding is that Lotrel is stronger than most BP medications, so I plan to drink cautiously. I usually consume a large amount of alcohol on weekends, mostly vodka, but I need to cut down now.


Will my boyfriend come out of it after taking too much Potassium and he has a bad liver?

Potassium is more apt to affect the heart. Potassium (K+) controls how the heart beats, and how strongly, among other things. If he passed out, it was likely due to the effect of Potassium on his heart. Excess potassium can kill because it puts the heart into an unnatural rhythm. The hospital should have initiated life-saving measures if they were told about the overdose. Also, he should receive psychological counseling as soon as possible as this should certainly be considered a suicide attempt. It's been over 15 days--I hope he is doing better now.

How does potassium become a potassium ion with a plus 1 charge?

Potassium becomes a potassium ion (K+) with a +1 charge by losing one electron. Potassium has 19 protons and 19 electrons in its neutral state. When it loses one electron, it now has 19 protons and 18 electrons, resulting in a net positive charge of +1.
