A member asked:
Does fludrocortisone cause magnesium loss as well as potassium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
K and Mg: In order to retain Magnesium (Mg), you need a normal postassium (K) level in the blood. So a low potassium caused by fludrocortisone could also contribute to a low Mg blood level.
