Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. LITHOS is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia, or conditions that may predispose to the onset of these plasma alterations. These conditions include chronic renal failure and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Concomitant use of LITHOS and potassium-sparing drugs (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) may cause hyperkalemia. Monitoring potassium levels is therefore recommended. There are no known interactions with other drugs. Rarely, mild gastrointestinal disturbances may develop during treatment, such as abdominal heaviness, nausea, and occasionally diarrhea. The tablet formulation may be particularly suitable for these individuals. <b>Conservation</b> Best before date from production date, in intact packaging: 24 months. <b>Format</b> Pack of 100 tablets of 1.28 g each. <b>Code</b> 1022
