Is it safe to take it with other medications?

The simultaneous use of other medications that increase potassium levels, such as potassium-sparing diuretics, may result in dangerously high potassium levels in the blood. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of kidney function deterioration.

How should I store it?
