Spironolactone and high potassium, can be fatal Hi, I was on Spiro a year or so ago for a few months, it did help alot with hair and acne but at the time I was getting really dizzy/heart arythmias and found out that Spiro is also a treatment for lowering bloodpressure (mine was too low now that I was on it). I stopped taking it, but I recently started it again because my symptoms are flaring badly. I have read alot about it recently, and noted that its a potassium-sparing diuretic, and having too much potassium in your blood can be fatal, especially if you eat alot of potatoes, tomatoes, bananas..I do eat alot of those, and am just wondering if any of you other ladies who take this drug have had an issue with high levels of potassium. I just don't want to have another problem arise from this medicine because it helps so much.
Anyone with feedback will be appreciated! |
