Hypokalemia is a metabolic disorder that occurs when the level of potassium in the blood drops too low. Possible causes of hypokalemia include: Antibiotics (penicillin, nafcillin, carbenicillin, gentamicin, amphotericin B, foscarnet) Diarrhea (including the use of too many laxatives, which can cause diarrhea)
During pregnancy, the most common cause of hypokalemia is low potassium levels due to vomiting associated with morning sickness. Diuretics that cause increased urination can also lead to low potassium levels since potassium is filtered through the kidneys.
