Computers often give an "interaction alert" when potassium chloride tabs or caps are combined with an anticholinergic drug.

These alerts are common for potassium chloride (Micro-K, etc) and ORAL anticholinergics...oxybutynin, amitriptyline, etc.

But now alerts are popping up with INHALED anticholinergics...ipratropium (Atrovent, etc) and tiotropium (Spiriva).
