If your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow, stop taking the
medication and contact your doctor.

of potassium-rich foods such as bananas, prunes, raisins, orange juice,
and whole and skim milk. Ask your doctor for advice on how much of
these foods to consume.

cause you to lose too much water and cause your blood pressure to drop
dangerously.
