Let your doctor know if you experience nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal cramping, confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, numbness or tingling, rapid heart beat, chest pain, and/or swelling in the legs or feet, as these may be symptoms of hypokalemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving diuretics with amphotericin should be monitored closely for development of hypokalemia. Potassium supplementation may be necessary. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience signs of electrolyte disturbances such as weakness, lethargy, and muscle pains or cramps.
