answer
Since apple cider vinegar in large doses is connected to a reduction of potassium in the body, care must be taken with other medications that lower potassium. These include insulin, diuretics like furosemide (Lasix) or chlorothiazide (Diuril), some blood pressure medications like digoxin (Lanoxin), and even laxatives. Low potassium (hypokalemia) can lead to muscle weakness, cramping, paralysis, and abnormal heart rhythms.
