High Blood Pressure and Hypertension Forum

I am taking Benicar HCT and it says not to take a potassium supplement with it. I am wanting to take a multivitamin but the multivitamins I have looked at have potassium iodide in them. Any suggestions?

Don't take those multivitamins or change them with other not containing potassium.
For how long you are taking Benicar HCT?
Do you find it helpful?
Do you feel dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting while being on this meds?
Do you take other medicines in combination for lowering the HBP?
