[|Human|] Im a 32 year old female and currently on a daily dose of 5 mg of amlodipine besylate to control my blood pressure.  Im sticking to a low sodium diet(less than 2000mg of sodium per day)and wanted to know if a salt substitute containing potassium chloride is safe to use on my food when cooking.
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain potassium chloride is not counter-indicated in your case. Besides, you should know that increased potassium in your diet can also help reduce your blood pressure values. So, you can safely use it. I would only recommend checking potassium levels periodically (once in a moth) in order to avoid possible increased potassium levels. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
