Question

Hi lybrate-user, k--cit oral solution is a combination of potassium citrate and citric acid. It is used to treat metabolic acidosis (a condition with high acid levels in your body). It is also used for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones and gout (pain and swelling in joints due to accumulation of uric acid). It works by reducing acid levels in your body and making your urine less acidic. K-cit oral solution may cause side effects such as upset stomach, diarrhoea, etc. Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist or if they become severe. K-cit oral solution should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor. Take it at the same time every day to maintain a constant level of this medicine in your body.
