Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.
Before taking potassium supplements, check with your doctor if you are taking other medications/products that may also increase the potassium level in your blood.
