Chloracon (Beclamide, Nydrane) is an anti-convulsive drug usually given to epileptics or anyone having seizures. I have found nothing that mentions reducing potassium but I sure would bet on the diuretic (water pills). Diruetics not only deplete your potassium but your sodium as well. What other meds is she on? What is her diet like? What is her age? -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
