Objetivo:  Reportar una posible asociación entre el uso de Plantago major e hipocalemia  Presentación de caso:  Paciente mujer de 38 años que acudió con entumecimiento y debilidad en extremidades debido a hipocalemia (2.94 meq/l) asociada al uso de Plantago major (Llantén), una planta medicinal de uso generalizado en Perú y de distribución global. El potasio se normalizó y los síntomas disminuyeron después de descontinuar el Llantén.  Conclusión:  El empleo de plantas medicinales de uso común debe tener en cuenta siempre posibles efectos adversos.]]></p></abstract>
