Description
LITHOSOLV
Description
Food supplement of potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate with sweetener.
Particularly helpful in subjects undergoing intense fluid loss, such as heavy sweating, diuresis or diarrhea, or in patients undergoing drug therapy such as diuretics, laxatives or cortisone.
LITHOSOLV GRANULATO is also able to correct excessive acid load, which can be directly assessed by measuring urinary pH; this can be easily done using the strips included in the package.
Ingredients
Tribasic potassium citrate, potassium bicarbonate.
Nutritional characteristics
How to use
The daily dosage of LITHOSOLV granular suspension is usually 1-2 measuring spoons taken on a full stomach, preferably in the evening or divided into two daily administrations.
The particular retard formulation of the powder allows a continuous release of the alkalizing substances, ensuring constant pH values throughout the day.
Pour the contents of a measuring cup into half a glass of water, mixing thoroughly; due to the lipophilic nature of the microgranules that guarantee the controlled release of the alkaline salts contained in them, a suspension will be formed that must be taken immediately. The insolubility of the micro granules is therefore a peculiarity of the preparation and does not affect its absorption and effectiveness.
USING pH STRIPS
Collect the urine in a container.
With dry hands, remove a strip from the clear pouch and dip it into the urine for 1 second; remove it and allow the excess urine to drip off. The wet side of the strip will change color depending on the pH of the urine.
Within 2 minutes, compare the color of the strip with the color on the reference color scale, included in the package.
Read the value corresponding to the color that is closest to the color on the strip.
Disposable strips should be disposed of in household waste after use.
Note: Any changes in the color of unused strips do not affect their accuracy.
Warnings
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Keep out of reach of children under 3 years of age.
Supplements are not intended as a substitute for a varied diet.
LITHOSOLV granular suspension is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia, or conditions that may predispose to the appearance of such plasma alterations. These conditions include chronic renal failure, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
The concomitant intake of LITHOSOLV granular suspension and potassium-sparing drugs (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) could cause hyperkalemia.
It is therefore advisable to monitor the progress of kaliemia. No interactions with other drugs are known.
Rarely, during treatment, mild gastrointestinal disturbances may develop such as: abdominal heaviness, nausea and occasionally diarrhea. The tablet form may be particularly suitable for these subjects.
Conservation
Best before date from production date, in intact packaging: 24 months.
Format
Net weight: 153 g equal to 30 doses.
The package contains 20 pH control strips with relative colorimetric scale.
