Urocit K (Potassium Citrate)

Urocit K Information:

Urocit (generic name: Potassium Citrate) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of some kidney stones. The active ingredient is Potassium Citrate which is a urinary alkalinizing agent. It works by neutralizing the urine, which helps to reduce the formation of crystals in the kidneys. Kidney stones are stone-like lumps that can develop in one or both of the kidneys. The medical name for the illness is nephrolithiasis. If the kidney stones cause severe pain in the patient, this is known as renal colic. The waste products in the kidneys can sometimes cause for crystals to form inside the kidneys, and as time passes these can build up to form hard lumps that cannot be passed in the urine. After a kidney stone forms in the body, the body will try to pass urine so the kidney stone may sometimes pass through the urinary system and this can result in a blockage in the urinary system including the bladder, ureters and urethra. The problem is more common in men than women, and usually affects those between the ages of 30 to 60 years.
