Potassium high?

Also, i have done usg abdomen, urine routine and urine culture they are normal. And I have been prescribed tendocare forte and calcium supplements for my coccydynia, are they safe for kidneys? Thanks.

Yes, both the drugs u can take safely, in limited quantity only.  Slightly high potassium levels in absence of any renal dysfunction is infact better for the body, since it is cardio protective.
