Foods & drinks to be careful with

Well-established interactions for this medicine’s drug class, summarized from public health authorities. General information, not medical advice — always confirm with your pharmacist or the label.

• Potassium-rich foods & salt substitutes

  Watch out for: salt substitutes containing potassium, and large amounts of potassium-rich foods or supplements.

  These medicines can raise blood potassium. Adding a lot of extra potassium can push it too high (hyperkalemia), which can affect the heart.

  What to do: Don't use potassium-based salt substitutes unless your clinician approves, and ask before taking potassium supplements. Your clinician may check your potassium level with blood tests.
