Has anyone experienced any side effects from taking Potassium Cit 1080mg (10meq) Tabs for kidney stones?
I was recently prescribed Potassium Cit 1080mg (10meq) Tabs to help prevent kidney stones. The doctor said the medication makes your urine less acidic and increases citrate levels, which helps prevent certain types of kidney stones from forming or growing. I have heard it can also help with a condition called renal tubular acidosis. I want to know if anyone else has taken this medication and, if so, how it has worked for them. Were there any concerning side effects? Are there things I should look out for while taking this? I am curious about any user experiences, both positive and negative. I want to make sure I am prepared for any potential side effects and have a good understanding of the possible adverse reactions.

I was prescribed this for kidney stones -- but I had no idea it could cause stomach issues!
I've been taking this for a year now and haven't had any problems. But I've cut back on salt and processed foods, which might help.
I've been on this for a few months now. The biggest side effect for me has been some stomach discomfort, but it's manageable. I just take it with food, and that seems to help a lot. Plus, it hasn't been bad enough to stop taking it since the benefits have been really good. I'm seeing fewer kidney stones, which is a huge relief.
I took this for a while but had to stop because the diarrhea was unbearable. Might not be for everyone.
If you get any signs of an allergic reaction, like swelling or hives, go to the ER ASAP. Trust me, it's not worth waiting it out.
I've noticed some black spots in my stool. I panicked at first, but my doctor told me it's just the coating of the tablet. It's harmless, but yeah, it can be scary when you first see it.
I've had no issues so far. Knock on wood. I take them with a big glass of water and that seems to do the trick. Just make sure you stay hydrated.
I wish my doc had warned me about the high potassium levels. I had some heart palpitations and had to get a blood test. Definitely something to look out for.
