When the doctor prescribed water pills for me (Lasix), he also prescribed potassium pills. Can you not order potassium pills to replace the potassium that is depleted?

I didn't know they made them. Thanks-I will look into it.

I have taken Potassium Pills before, due to taking Lasix. You can also eat 1 banana per day. Bananas are high in Posassium.

My general practician presecribed hydrochlorothyazide for monthly water retention. If you only use it short term, eating a banana is sufficient to compensate for electrolyte loss. In the states, you don't need a prescription to buy potassium. It's classified as a natural substance and can be bought at any vitamin retailer. The rx water pill, though, is easy to come by since it is not an addictive controlled substance.
