The pharmacist told me that I should be taking electrolyte supplements regularly with my spiro...but if Spironolactone makes you hold in potassium...is it actually safe to take electrolyte supplements?

Or could it potentially cause hyperkalemia?

Yes increase your water intake a lot...
I mean a lot the changes do require a lot of water..

As for electroltes...I'm high Spiro and I never had an issue yet

If you're worried about electrolyte balance, just add some sea salt to food since sodium balance will be more off than potassium (which should avoid artificial sources). And of course take in more fluids because of diuretic effect.
