Is it allowed to take Potassium-Citrate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Human milk has a potassium concentration of 13 meq/L, almost a half of rehydration solution content and a quarter of maximal IV recommended dose. Potassium supplementation does not alter milk concentration without increasing mother’s serum concentration, which is strictly limited from 3,5 to 5,5 meq/L.

My blood pressure has fallen so low that I have no energy. This happened over 1 month but less than 2 months energy. I am stopping this drug before it kills me.
