Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Lebersal

Do not takeLebersal:

  • If you are allergic to sodium bicarbonate, anhydrous disodium phosphate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have an electrolyte imbalance (alteration of water or electrolyte content), hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood), or diarrheal processes.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Lebersal:

  • If you have heart failure.
  • If you have kidney failure (kidney disease).
  • If you are prone to water retention (edema).
  • If you are on a low-sodium diet.
  • If you have high blood pressure.
  • During treatment with diuretics (medicines that increase urine elimination).
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Taking Lebersal with other medicines:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine.

It should not be administered concurrently with other oral medicines, as it may affect their absorption, such as tetracyclines, ketoconazole, cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, mecamylamine, methenamine, bisphosphonates, digoxin, indomethacin, iron salts, lithium, salicylates, and naproxen.

As it contains sodium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate, it may decrease the urinary elimination of amphetamines and quinidine.

Aluminum, calcium, or magnesium salts may decrease the absorption of Lebersal due to their phosphate content. On the other hand, vitamin D increases phosphate absorption, which could lead to hyperphosphatemia (excess phosphate in the blood).

Administration with medicines that affect serum electrolytes (minerals found in blood), such as diuretics, calcium channel blockers, lithium treatment, may lead to elevated blood levels of phosphate (hyperphosphatemia), sodium (hypernatremia), magnesium (hypermagnesemia), and low calcium levels (hypocalcemia).

Additionally, if taken with calcium supplements, it may increase the risk of ectopic calcification (calcium salt deposits in extra-skeletal tissues).

In any case, if it is necessary to take these medicines, the doses should be separated by at least two hours.

Taking Lebersal with food and drinks

Do not take with a very full stomach, as it may cause an increase in carbon dioxide production, leading to gastric distension, and in rare cases, may perforate the stomach walls.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Its use is not recommended during pregnancy. The presence of sodium bicarbonate in Lebersal may induce metabolic alkalosis (disorder of water and mineral salt balance in the blood), water retention, and weight gain, both in the mother and the fetus.

Its use is not recommended during breastfeeding, as it is unknown whether Lebersal is excreted in breast milk.

Driving and using machines

No effects of Lebersal on the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery have been described.

Lebersal contains sodium

This medicine contains 470 mg of sodium (main component of table/cooking salt) per 2.5 grams. This is equivalent to 24% of the maximum daily recommended sodium intake for an adult.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need a spoonful or more per day for a prolonged period, especially if you have been advised to follow a low-sodium diet.

3. How to take Lebersal

Follow the administration instructions for the medicine contained in this leaflet or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Lebersal is administered orally.

The recommended dose is 1 or 2 spoonfuls (2.5 or 5 g) on an empty stomach or before main meals. The granules are poured into a half-glass of water.

It can be taken before or after effervescence.

It is recommended not to take more than 4 spoonfuls per day.

If you take moreLebersalthan you should

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Doses above the recommended dose of Lebersal may cause diarrhea, headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, weakness, and loss of appetite. At very high doses, in prolonged treatments, it may lead to metabolic alkalosis.

The treatment will be aimed at alleviating the symptoms and recovering the balance of water and electrolytes in the blood.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount used/ingested.

If you forget to takeLebersal
