Usually fine, but count the potassium in the mix toward your total.
What to do. Check both labels. If you have kidney disease or take drugs that raise potassium, talk to your doctor before using either.
Mechanism
Electrolyte mixes already contain potassium

Evidence: Strong evidence — Randomized trials, meta-analyses or clinical guidance that directly support this specific claim.
