POTASSIUM CITRATE+MAGNESIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
About
MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis and kidney stones. It also helps provide relief from the burning sensation during urination. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. Renal tubular acidosis is a condition in which the kidneys fail to excrete acids into the urine. This causes the blood to remain too acidic.
MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is a combination of three drugs: Magnesium citrate, Potassium citrate, and Pyridoxine hydrochloride. MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium, and citric acid levels; this prevents the crystallization, growth, and accumulation of stone-forming salts.
Take MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE as prescribed. You are advised to take MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before taking MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is not recommended for patients with renal insufficiency as it might increase the risk for the development of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) and soft tissue calcification. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
Uses of POTASSIUM CITRATE+MAGNESIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
Medicinal Benefits
MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is a combination of three drugs: Magnesium citrate, Potassium citrate, and Pyridoxine hydrochloride. MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis and kidney stones, preventing the recurrence of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis (calcium oxalate stones) and uric acid lithiasis (uric acid stones) with or without calcium stones. It also helps provide relief from the burning sensation during urination. MAGNESIUM CITRATE+POTASSIUM CITRATE+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium, and citric acid levels; this prevents the crystallization, growth, and accumulation of stone-forming salts.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
Drink plenty of fluids as they help in flushing out excess minerals.
Limit salt intake. High amounts of salt can increase the risk of kidney stones.
Maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly.
Avoid foods rich in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, okra, dates, avocado, hot chocolate, cocoa, baked potato, french fries, and cereals as they might increase the risk of oxalate stones.
Try maintaining optimum levels of calcium in the body as too little or high calcium can lead to kidney stones.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Kidney stones: Nephrolithiasis, also known as kidney stones, is a disease affecting the urinary tract. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. They are the common cause of blood in urine and can be painful when passing through the urinary tract. Symptoms include severe pain, usually in one side of the abdomen, and nausea.
Renal tubular acidosis: This is a condition that involves the accumulation of acid in the body due to the failure of the kidneys to acidify the urine appropriately. The kidneys fail to excrete acids into the urine, which causes the blood to remain too acidic. If not treated, it could lead to kidney stones, bone disease, kidney disease, or failure.
