Additionally, individuals taking medications that can cause hyperkalemia, such as potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, may also experience elevated potassium levels when prescribed ARBs.

ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) and direct renin inhibitors (DRIs) are other classes of drugs that can increase the risk of hyperkalemia when combined with ARBs.
