Sea Moss and Losartan — Hyperkalemia Risk
Evidence level: LIMITED
Sea Moss adds potassium to your diet while Losartan causes your body to hold onto more potassium. This could push potassium to dangerous levels.
Sea Moss is potassium-rich. Losartan (ARB) reduces potassium excretion via aldosterone suppression. Combined hyperkalemia risk.
Moderate Sea Moss intake. Monitor potassium levels. Inform your prescriber.
Take Losartan at a consistent time daily. Sea Moss is naturally high in potassium — this is important because Losartan (an ARB) raises potassium levels. The cumulative potassium load increases hyperkalemia risk. Monitor potassium levels when adding Sea Moss, and avoid excessive consumption. Take at separate meals and watch for symptoms like muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat.
Higher risk for: elderly, those with liver or kidney impairment, polypharmacy (5+ medications), recent medication changes, or those with multiple chronic conditions. Consult your pharmacist for specific risk factors.
Muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, numbness, nausea.
