A member asked:
How long do you have to be on antacids before your potassium drops low.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could happen: in a few weeks or months. Most physicians would suggest for patients to take extra potassium in their diet, including bananas, grapefruits, and coconut water. You may need to be aware of the symptoms of low magnesium and low potassium as well. Or see your doctor for blood tests if you suspect that is what is happening to you.
