What types of medications can cause low potassium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many...: The followings are known to deplete potassium: antacids, nsaids, steroid, aminoglycosides, diuretics (notably loop diuretics like Lasix (furosemide) and thiazide), and anti-gout drugs (uricosuric agents). So, ask, watch, and work with doctor.
