There are effectual measures as secondary prevention of hypokalemia in patients who are susceptible more or have ongoing losses of potassium based on their potassium level including:
- Prescribe potassium chloride 20 mg BID: Patients with congestive heart failure and edematous conditions such as cirrhosis have to take it regularly
- Administrate Proton Pomp Inhibitors and H2 blocker drugs. It can inhibit bicarbonate formation in the stomach and its absorption, as well as limiting potassium loss.
- Prescribe potassium-sparing medications, such as Amiloride 1.25-2.5 mg BID
Prevention of hypokalemia in patients using diuretics:
- Administering K-sparing diuretics is the most suitable preventive option. However, hyperkalemia should be considered in patients with diabetes and older cases (PMID: 11539714)
