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.
Low levels of sodium or potassium, referred to as hyponatremia and hypokalemia, respectively, may occur for a variety of reasons. Low potassium levels may occur because of a lack of potassium-rich foods, such as fruits and leafy green vegetables, in a personâs diet.Many individuals have a diet high in sodium due to convenience foods, so the lack of sodium-rich foods is not typically a concern.eople with mildly low potassium levels may benefit from taking oral potassium supplements, and eating a diet high in potassium-rich foods may help keep the levels from dropping again. Severe deficiencies of potassium may require supplemental potassium via injections or intravenous fluids.
