A case of severe hypokalemia in a patient with arterial hypertension during long-term use of the combination drug «Triplixam»

The use of diuretics in combination with antihypertensive drugs can cause hypokalemia, the manifestations of which are largely nonspecific and, in some cases, occur under the guise of acute conditions. The publication presents a clinical case of severe symptomatic hypokalemia that developed during long-term use of a combination of antihypertensive drug containing amlodipine, perindopril and indapamide. The advisability of monitoring serum electrolytes when prescribing thiazide-like diuretics to patients with arterial hypertension is shown.
