LITHOS is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalaemia or hypermagnesaemia, or with conditions that may predispose to these plasma alterations. These conditions include chronic kidney failure and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
Taking LITHOS at the same time as potassium-sparing medicines (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) could cause hyperkalaemia. It is therefore advisable to monitor blood potassium levels.
No interactions with other medicines are known.
Rarely, mild gastrointestinal disorders may develop during treatment, such as abdominal heaviness, nausea and occasionally diarrhoea. The tablet form may be particularly suitable for these people.
