1. What is Sibnayal and what is it used for

Sibnayal contains two active substances, potassium citrate and potassium acid carbonate (also known as potassium bicarbonate).

Sibnayal is an alkalizing medicine used to control blood acidity caused by a kidney disease called distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).

Sibnayal will help reduce the effect of dRTA on your daily life.

Sibnayal is used in adults, adolescents, and children over 1 year of age.

2. What you need to know before you take Sibnayal

Do not take Sibnayal

  • if you are allergic to potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you have severe kidney disease or kidney failure,
  • if you have high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before taking Sibnayal

  • if you have a disease or take a medicine that may increase potassium levels in your blood (see section "Other medicines and Sibnayal"),
  • if you frequently have gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting,
  • if you have chronic kidney disease.

The prolonged-release granules of Sibnayal are designed to release the active substances slowly after taking the medicine. It is possible to observe remains of the granules in the stool. This is normal and does not reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.

If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the medicine, you should take another dose.

Medical supervision is required when using this medicine.

Your doctor will regularly check your kidney function if you are an elderly person or if your kidney function worsens.

Children

Do not give this medicine to children under 1 year of age because there is a risk of choking.

  • amiodarone and quinidine (used to control heart rhythm),
  • chlorpromazine (used to treat certain mental illnesses),
