A member asked:
When should i stop taking 80 meq's of potassium daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extra potassium: I would go to your doctor to have your blood tested for a potassium (k) level. If that is normal, you can stop taking k orally in the absence of something causing your body to lose it consistently. What did your doctor tell you, when you put on k supplements, the reason for you going on them was?
