Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are regularly taking other medications that can also raise your potassium level. Examples include drospirenone, eplerenone, ACE inhibitors (such as enalapril, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (such as losartan, valsartan), potassium-sparing "water pills"/diuretics (such as spironolactone, triamterene), among others. Also, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you take medications that can slow down the movement of potassium in your stomach or intestines, possibly increasing the risk of side effects (such as ulcers). Examples include atropine, scopolamine, some antihistamines such as diphenhydramine, antispasmodic drugs such as dicyclomine/hyoscyamine, bladder control drugs such as oxybutynin/tolterodine, certain drugs for Parkinson's disease such as benztropine/trihexyphenidyl, among others.
