Can Intalith cause gain in weight?
Intalith can cause both weight gain or weight loss. You should keep a check on your weight during Intalith therapy. If you feel you are gaining or losing too much weight, consult your doctor who will assess whether the change in weight is due to Intalith or some other reason.
Is Intalith bad for kidneys?
Yes, Intalith may cause kidney problems. Intalith is not prescribed in patients who already have severe kidney impairment. The kidney problems may not be reversible and the symptoms include swollen ankles, passing a lot of urine and feeling thirsty. Before starting treatment with Intalith, your doctor will get blood tests done to see if your kidney function is normal. During Intalith therapy, any gradual or sudden changes in renal function, even within the normal range, may indicate the need for re-evaluation of treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about Intalith?
Intalith therapy should only be started if adequate facilities for assessing Intalith levels are available. This is because Intalith toxicity is related to increased levels of Intalith in blood. Intalith toxicity can even occur at dose which is effective for treatment. Therefore, your doctor may closely monitor your Intalith levels weekly until stabilization is achieved, then weekly for one month and then at monthly intervals thereafter.
How should LI be taken?
Take LI exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Check with your doctor if you are not sure. It is meant for oral administration and can be taken with or without food. However, if you start following a certain type of diet, talk to your doctor first. Any drastic changes in the amount of water you drink or amount of sodium (salt) in your diet may require more frequent monitoring of LI levels.
Which medicines decrease LI levels?
You should inform your doctor about the medicines you are taking before starting LI since many medicines interfere with the working of LI. Some medicines decrease the levels of LI in blood which means that it will not work well. These include theophylline (for asthma), caffeine, anything containing sodium bicarbonate, or a special group of diuretics (water tablets) called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and urea used to treat skin conditions.
How quickly does LI work?
It takes some time before you see improvement in your symptoms after taking LI. Though it varies from person to person, it may take 1-3 weeks or longer for you to see the full benefits of LI. Do not stop taking LI if you feel you are not improving. Instead, discuss it with your doctor.
