View allI'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

I'm a bit concerned about my potassium levelit came back as 3.10. I know the normal range is between 3.50 and 5.10. Could you help me figure out how to raise it? Should I be worried about this?
Potassium level of 3.10 is below the normal range of 3.50-5.10. To increase it, you can consume foods rich in potassium such as bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach. Additionally, you can take potassium supplements like Slow-K with a dosage of 20 mEq-40 mEq per day, as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to address low potassium levels as it can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and abnormal heart rhythms.
