A member asked:

Diamox 250mg does potassium deplet happen fast or overtime? what if i only get 2000mg in a day for food? blwrk for potassium was 4.5 before starting

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diamox: Diamox is a mild diuretic. If you have no kidney disorder and are not taking any potassium sparing medications like lisinopril, for example, you could safely take a potassium supplement daily and have your serum potassium checked periodically under your physicians direction.
