I wouldn't take that unless the doctor told you to take Potassium. You might ask the Pharmacist about taking the Potassium if the pill you are talking about is over the counter. Orange Juice has lots of natural Potassium, so does tomatos, bananas and I think Broccoli. Potassium overdose can be fatal, or cause heart attacks and other problems. Seek a doctor or pharmacists advice.
