I really need help. I need to know if it will hurt me if I just stop taking Lasix and Potassium at the same time. I take alot of medicine and most of them have an Interaction of 4 or above. I have a new Dr. and she called and said my Bloodwork was normal and I could go off of them both if I wanted to but, She didn't recommend it. I just wanted her to lower the dose but, I guess she misunderstood. Can anyone help me? Please!!
