Increased excretion (or loss) of potassium from your body. Some medications may cause potassium loss which can lead to hypokalemia. Common medications include loop diuretics (such as Furosemide). Other drugs include steroids, licorice, sometimes aspirin, and certain antibiotics.
Not all diuretics cause this problem. The potassium-sparing diuretics don't lower potassium levels. These include spironolactone (Aldactone), eplerenone (Inspra) and triamterene (Dyrenium). In addition, some medications to treat high blood pressure may actually increase potassium levels in your blood. Among these are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and renin inhibitors. Treatment of low potassium may include: Increasing potassium in your diet.
