So, I've been taking Urocit-K 15 Tablets for a few months now to prevent kidney stones, and I wanted to share my experience. The medication has been great for me, but I did have some initial side effects like diarrhea and stomach pain. My doctor said these are common and should go away, but I wanted to hear from others who have used this medication if the side effects lessened or disappeared over time. Also, if you have any tips or important information, I'd love to know. It makes my urine more alkaline, so I think it's working for me, but I'm curious about anyone else's experience.

I've been prescribed Effer-K 20meq Tablets to prevent kidney stones. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. What has your experience been like? Have any of you dealt with any of the side effects? Specifically, I'm thinking about diarrhea and vomiting. My doctor explained that dissolving the tablets in high amounts of water should help. Are you finding this to be the case? Do you feel the benefits outweigh any possible side effects?
