No specific dose: While furosemide (brand name Lasix) does cause you to lose potassium in your urine, not everyone who takes the medication has low potassium. It is best to talk to your doctor and get some blood tests done to see what your potassium is before starting supplementation. If you potassium is not low without the supplement, no need to add another pill to your daily routine.
