A member asked:
Chronic low potassium and wpw syndrome. is lactulose and miralax safe long term? would they cause excessive potassium loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why the low K, Matt?: If it's consistently well below range, get checked for hyperaldosteronism (adenoma, metabolic defect) and renal tubular potassium wasting. That's the real question. These meds don't really do much with potassium
