Lasix and Supplemental Potassium

I was wondering how much potassium (in meqs) you guys take per your dose of Lasix? Thanks very much.

I'm taking 40mg of Lasix, and have to take 10MEQ of Potassium.

I forgot to mention that on top of the Potassium pills I also eat a banana, about 1/2 tablespoon of raisins and a large glass of Orange Juice every day.  

I'm doing this for the last 4 years and never had a problem with my potassium either to high or to low.  It always shows up perfect on my bloodwork I get every 3 months.

Thank you so very much. I really needed this information. I think my cardionurse had me on a double dose of potassium. I was taking 20 meq/40mg of Lasix. I had suggested this to her and it appeared on my K bottle as directions. I had read it on a heart forum, lol. Thanks again. Goldie
