Description Food supplement of alkalising minerals (potassium and magnesium citrates), sweetened with stevia. Ideal for helping to manage and prevent some conditions linked to dehydration and to support the well-being that comes from a correct fluid balance in the body. Hydration is particularly important in certain people subject to severe dehydration or increased requirements: pregnant women, athletes and sportspeople in general, children, the elderly, patients with kidney stones, osteoporosis, diarrhoea or on diuretics, laxatives and corticosteroids. Idrobasic also provides the right amount of potassium and magnesium, which contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal muscle and bone function. All this in a very low-calorie blend (maximum 25 kcal per sachet). Idrobasic is alkaline in nature: being citrate-based, it is also useful to complement a diet low in alkaline foods (fruit and vegetables) or to offset a diet high in protein or fat, which would place an excessive acid load on the body.
Ingredients Maltodextrin, tribasic potassium citrate, tribasic magnesium citrate, flavourings; sweeteners: acesulfame K, sucralose, steviol glycosides; thickener: xanthan gum; antioxidant: ascorbic acid; anti-caking agent: silicon dioxide.

Warnings Idrobasic is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalaemia or hypermagnesaemia, or with conditions that may predispose to such plasma changes. These conditions include chronic kidney failure and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Taking Idrobasic at the same time as potassium-sparing medicines (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) could lead to hyperkalaemia. Potassium levels should therefore be monitored. No interactions with other medicines are known. Rarely, mild gastrointestinal disturbances may develop during treatment, such as abdominal heaviness, nausea and occasionally diarrhoea.
