Overview

Urocit-K 10mEq Tablet is an oral wax-matrix tablet containing Potassium Citrate as its active ingredient, manufactured by Mission Pharmacal. Each tablet contains 1.08g of potassium citrate, equivalent to 10 mEq (10 mmol of potassium and 3.3 mmol of citrate). It belongs to the drug class of oral alkalinising agents, formulated in a wax matrix that allows the active ingredient to be released gradually as the tablet passes through the digestive tract.

The wax-matrix design means the tablet itself does not fully dissolve; instead, the inert wax matrix carrying the potassium citrate may occasionally be seen in the stool after the active ingredient has been absorbed, which is an expected characteristic of this type of extended-release formulation rather than a sign that the medicine has not worked.

Urocit-K is one of several potassium citrate formulations available, and other brands or strengths (such as a 15 mEq tablet) may look different or carry different dosing instructions, so the specific product and strength on the packaging should always be checked before use.

Directions for Use

Take the tablet whole with a meal or within 30 minutes after a meal, together with a full glass of water.

Do not crush, chew, or suck the tablet, as this would interfere with the gradual-release wax-matrix design.

Drink plenty of water through the day while taking this medicine, unless a doctor has advised fluid restriction for another reason.

Dosage

The typical dose is one tablet taken 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a doctor based on individual urine citrate and pH measurements.

Dosage should not be adjusted without medical advice, since the correct amount depends on regular laboratory monitoring rather than symptoms alone.

Shelf Life

Check the expiry date printed on the container before use, and do not use the tablets beyond the stated expiry date.

Storage Instructions

  • Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Keep the container tightly closed between uses.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from bathroom humidity.
  • Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

  • Common: Mild nausea.
  • Common: Stomach upset or discomfort.
  • Common: Gas or bloating.
  • Serious: Symptoms of high potassium levels, such as muscle weakness, tingling, or an irregular heartbeat — seek urgent medical attention if these occur.

Contraindications

  • Hyperkalaemia (high blood potassium) or any condition that predisposes to it, such as chronic kidney failure or adrenal insufficiency, since a further rise in potassium may lead to serious heart rhythm problems.
  • Concurrent use of potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone, amiloride, or triamterene) unless a doctor has specifically assessed and monitors this combination.
  • Conditions that delay the tablet’s passage through the digestive tract, such as significant gastrointestinal narrowing, unless a doctor has approved use.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Concurrent use with potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers can raise blood potassium to dangerous levels; this combination should only be used under close medical supervision.
  • Use with caution alongside anticholinergic medicines, which may slow gut transit and increase the risk of the tablet remaining in one place in the digestive tract for too long.
  • Avoid potassium-containing salt substitutes or other potassium supplements unless specifically directed by your doctor, to prevent additive potassium intake.

Quick Tips

  • Always take this tablet with food or shortly after a meal, and with a full glass of water.
  • Do not crush, chew, or suck the tablet — swallow it whole.
  • Attend scheduled blood and urine tests as advised by your doctor, since dosing is guided by lab results.
  • Check with your doctor before starting any new medicine, including over-the-counter salt substitutes.
  • It is normal to occasionally see the wax tablet shell in the stool; this does not mean the medicine has not worked.
  • Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children between uses.
