Urokit Plus® Oral Solution: Each 5 ml contains Potassium Citrate BP 1500 mg & Citric Acid Monohydrate BP 250 mg.
Urokit Plus® is a combined preparation of Potassium Citrate & Citric Acid. Potassium Citrate is absorbed and metabolized to potassium bicarbonate, this acting as a systemic alkalyzer. The effects are essentially those of chlorides before absorption and those of bicarbonates subsequently. Oxidation is virtually complete so that less than 5% of the potassium citrate is excreted in the urine unchanged.
Urokit Plus® Oral Solution should be taken diluted in water according to directions, followed by additional water, if desired. Palatability is enhanced if chilled before taking. Proper dilution may help prevent gastrointestinal injury associated with the oral ingestion of concentrated potassium salt preparations.
To relieve discomfort in UTI:
To prevent kidney stones, acidosis caused by kidney diseases, with uricosuric agent to prevent gout:
Large doses may cause hyperkalemia an alkalosis, especially in the presence of renal disease. Concurrent administration of potassium-containing medication, potassium-sparing diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or cardiac glycosides may lead to toxicity. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Discontinue use if adverse reaction occurs.
Should be used with caution by patients with low urinary output unless under the supervision of a physician. As with all liquids containing a high concentration of potassium, patients should be directed to dilute adequately with water to minimize the possibility of gastrointestinal injury associated with the oral ingestion of concentrated potassium salt preparations; and preferable, to take each dose after meals to avoid saline laxative effect.
