A member asked:
On lisinopril hctz 20-25. does the lisinopril negate the loss of potassium by the hctz? or are k levels at a risk of still falling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potassium: Yes, ace inhibitors like lisinopril retain potassium and provide good balance from the potassium lowering effect of the diuretic. Periodic testing of electrolytes and kidney function is still advisable
