Brief Answer:
it's safe...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

potassium, xarelto and lasix can be used without any anticipated interaction between them. Lasix may cause potassium depletion. Potassium supplementation will replenish potassium stores. Make sure you monitor the serum potassium! Potassium disorders may cause serious problems, including some potentially fatal arrhythmias.

Kind Regards!
