Can Valsartan And Potassium Citrate Be Taken Together?

good afternoon. I am taking Valsartan 30 mg. for my blood pressure. I have tiny kidney stones on both of my kidneys. A urologist has prescribed me to take potassium citrate to help eliminate these kidney stones. Now I read online that when you take Valsartan you are nit suppose to take anything which might increase your potassium. What shall I do?
