A member asked:
Potassium 4.0. normal 3.5-5.0. started on florinef (fludrocortisone) .1mg daily. will it lower potassium lots?

Low potassium?: Florinef (fludrocortisone) (f) does lower potassium (k). You need to discuss this with the physician (p) who placed you f to find out how frequently the p wants to monitor your k. Your p knows you best of all and can give you a meaningful answer and treat any low k levels that may arise. Good luck.
