Description Food supplement with sweeteners based on potassium citrate.
Particularly helpful for people experiencing intense fluid loss, such as heavy sweating, diuresis or diarrhoea, or for patients on medicines such as diuretics, laxatives or corticosteroids.
It is also particularly useful for those who do intense sporting activity, as it not only provides an adequate amount of readily absorbable potassium, but supplies it in alkaline form, through citrate.
This alkalising action helps neutralise lactic acid in the muscles and allows it to be cleared more easily through the bloodstream.
This reduces the risk of cramps and muscle soreness.
Ingredients Tribasic potassium citrate.

BIOKCIT FORTE 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 BIOKCIT FORTE at the same time as potassium-sparing medicines (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) could cause hyperkalaemia. It is therefore advisable to monitor potassium levels.
No interactions with other medicines are known. Rarely, mild gastrointestinal disturbances may develop during treatment, such as abdominal heaviness, nausea and occasionally diarrhoea. The tablet pack may be particularly suitable for these people.
