What should I avoid while taking valsartan?

 | Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking valsartan, unless your doctor has told you to. |
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
