Sea Moss and Spironolactone — Hyperkalemia Risk

Evidence level: MODERATE

What this interaction means

Spironolactone keeps potassium in your body while Sea Moss adds more potassium. This combination can lead to dangerously high potassium levels.

How it works (mechanism)

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Sea Moss is potassium-rich. Combined, significant hyperkalemia risk.

Practical advice

Limit Sea Moss intake or avoid it while on Spironolactone. Monitor potassium levels regularly.
