Lisinopril + Hydrochlorothiazide

Lisinopril + Hydrochlorothiazide & Potassium

Depletes Potassium. This medication is commonly used for Hypertension

Why Lisinopril + Hydrochlorothiazide affects Potassium

This drug is a comprehensive combination of a thiazide diuretic and ACE inhibitor. Thiazide diuretics can cause potassium to leave your cells. These medications work by making your kidneys flush out water and sodium, but unfortunately, potassium gets swept along too. This raises the risk of a moderate or severe potassium deficiency, called hypokalemia and potassium supplementation should be considered.
