Does nexium (esomeprazole) cause low potassium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. There are: 2 ways Nexium (esomeprazole) (or any proton pump inhibitor class drugs) can cause low potassium. First it can cause low magnesium, which in turns decrease the level of potassium in your blood. Second it can cause diarrhea, which as you lose water from the colon will cause potassium to follow and drop the overall concentration of potassium from your extracellular fluid. So eat extra bananas and foods high in K
