Will The Potassium Levels Go High If Losartan Is Taken Along With Potassium Supplements?

I understand that losartan can increase potassium levels. I have left a message with my doctor and asked him, but he has not responded. I take isotonix supplements that have potassium in them. should I stop taking the supplements until I hear from my doctor. I am taking losartan at 25mg with hydrochlrothyazide. I am a worry wart and am concerned that my potassium level will get too high
