I am taking diovan for high blood pressure. It's info sheet says do not take potassium supplements with it because diovan can store potassium. Now my doctor has changed my meds to DiovanHCT, which is adding a dieuretic to the Diovan. Should I now be taking a potassium supplment due to the dieuretic ? thanks..

Your doctor should do a blood test after starting the new medication. He should examine the potassium level and compare it to the normal baseline value and to your previous potassium values. This will tell him whether or not your potassium requires additional supplementation.
