Anyone have experience with Potassium Cit ER 1620mg (15meq) Tab for kidney stones? What are the real side effects and is it worth it?
I've recently been prescribed Potassium Cit ER 1620mg (15meq) Tab to prevent kidney stones. I've heard it can make a huge difference, but I'm also concerned about the possible side effects. Has anyone else taken this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Specifically, I'm wondering about the urgent side effects like allergic reactions and high potassium levels. Are these common, or did you experience something different? Also, how did you handle any side effects that came up?
I've been on this for a couple of months now, and it's been a game-changer for my kidney stones. No serious side effects so far, just some mild stomach upset.
I wish I had known about this medication sooner. I've had kidney stones for years and this has finally given me some relief. The side effects were minimal for me, just a bit of upset stomach at first. Definitely worth a try if you're struggling with kidney stones.
I was really nervous about the side effects, but I had a good experience overall. The only real issue I had was some minor diarrhea, but that went away after a few weeks. If you can handle that, it's worth it. Just remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body.
Be careful with the high potassium levels. I had a friend who almost ended up in the hospital from the side effects. It's serious stuff, so make sure to monitor your levels regularly. Also, follow the dosage instructions to the letter. Don't play around with those doses.
The tablet shell in your stool is normal, but it grossed me out the first time I saw it. Just wanted to reassure anyone else who sees this! 😂
I've heard mixed reviews about this medication. Some people swear by it, while others have had terrible experiences. It's definitely worth talking to your doctor about the pros and cons. Don't just take someone else's word for it, but get a professional opinion
