Patient on KCl 20mEq QD. Also on metolazone 5mg and bumex 1mg. Has history of hypokalemia in last 2 weeks but K came back today at 5.4. Envarsus daily is being increased from 6 to 7mg. I said to DC KCL supplement, instruct patient to decrease dietary K and recheck labs Thurs. Patient is outpatient.
