What Type Of Food Should Be Avoided While On Pravastatin, Carvedilol And Bumetanide?
Question: pravastatin, carvedilol, bumetanide, spironolactone-are there foods I should avoid
Brief Answer:
Foods to avoid
Detailed Answer:
Good day! Given that these meds you mention certainly have an alteration in the heart conductivity, fluid balance and body's electrolytes, I would try not to disturb the balance of these systems. As such, making sure you do not eat foods too high in potassium and or salt would be prudent. Foods high in potassium include Avocado, Sweet Potato, Spinach, White Beans and Bananas. I would avoid stacking too many of these high potassium foods together, or to eat a diet consistent on only these groups, and attempt to mix in other food groups throughout the day to stay healthy. Also I would suggest a low sugar diet (As diabetes and elevated blood sugar can exacerbate all cardiac conditions) and low in cholesterol.
I hope this has helped. Please feel free to ask any follow up questions.
