you have high potassium levels in the blood, aluminum toxicity, heart failure or injury, or severe kidney problems
you are taking an aldosterone blocker (eg, spironolactone), an aluminum salt (eg, aluminum hydroxide), a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, triamterene), or sucralfate

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
