When my late doctor put me on spiro, she also put me on a potassium supplement . This seemed a bit odd, and the pharmacist was also on the ball and warned me. When I stopped the spiro, I didn't notice any untoward effects that I could attribute to sodium or potassium levels, but I was aware to be on the lookout for problems when starting or stopping medications affecting K levels. Her predecessor also produced an entirely inappropriate prescription immediately before I left him. The pharmacist's comment was that with the other things I was taking, I shouldn't venture too far from a hospital if I was to take that medication.
