Can taking potassium gluconate help lower blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If your BP is high you should start with exercise /weight loss/low salt diet. If you have hbp get to be checked by your doctor. Do not self treat hbp: dangerous. Potassium gluconate is not hbp medication and should not be used without supervision.
