Patients should be observed for signs of fluid or Low potassium or hypokalemia is a decrease in blood potassium levels, which is caused by colon polyps, vomiting, diarrhea, medications, and laxatives
But, like all medications, it has risks
A loop diuretic is much less likely to induce this problem unless the diuretic has induced volume depletion or water intake is very high (since loop Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic and antihypertensive
Nevertheless, periodic determination of serum electrolytes should be performed in patients who may be at risk for the development of hypokalemia
