What Causes Elevated Potassium Level While On Lispril?
Hi I ve been having high potassium for the last year and my doctor s been giving me medication to drink and then that seems to bring it back down but I am on a blood pressure pill lispril and I was wanting to know if that might have something to do with the high potassium.
