There is another diuretic that doesn't require potassium.... what is with KE always prescribing old, out of favor drugs? Were these the only combos available in the Bahamas? Are they that far behind the USA in that department?

Or are they simply drugs that you wouldn't normally test for these days??

Lasix is not an old out of date diuretic..it is a loop diuretic which works on the kidney differently than does hydrochlothyazide or Chlorthaladone, the one I had to take for Meniere's during an active phase. I was also on Klor Con to prevent loss of potassium.
