2 interactions related to diovan
valsartan + spirulina
Spirulina has modest antihypertensive effects in clinical trials (systolic drop of around 4-5 mmHg) and contains roughly 14 mg of potassium per gram. Combined with valsartan, theoretical risks include additive blood pressure lowering and a minor contribution to potassium load, though at typical supplement doses neither effect is large.

valsartan + potassium
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that suppresses aldosterone and slows renal potassium excretion. The FDA-approved Diovan label specifically warns that potassium supplements and potassium-containing salt substitutes may lead to clinically significant hyperkalemia, particularly in patients with renal impairment, diabetes, or heart failure.
