Product Details

Description

Description

Urocit-K is a prescription drug containing potassium citrate, designed to reduce the formation of urinary stones in patients with specific metabolic imbalances. Unlike potassium chloride, it delivers alkali without raising chloride levels, making it suitable for patients with renal tubular acidosis or uric acid stones. Each extended-release tablet releases potassium gradually to minimize gastric irritation. You should swallow the tablets as a whole with food or water. This medication is not intended for use in children. Avoid using Urocit-K with potassium-rich diets or salt substitutes. Keep Urocit-K tightly closed in its original packaging when not in use. Order Urocit-K medication online from trusted platforms to ensure its authenticity and quality.
