- What
- "Low-salt" potassium salt substitutes
- Why
- This medicine already keeps potassium in the body, and extra potassium can push the level in the blood too high.
- What to do
- Do not use "low-salt" potassium salt substitutes unless your doctor says so.
- A lot of liquorice can lower potassium and raise blood pressure, so keep it small.
Ask your pharmacist about timing and food with this medicine.
