What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Urocit-K Overview
Urocit-K is used to make the urine less acidic. This effect helps the kidneys get rid of uric acid, thereby helping to prevent gout and kidney stones. Urocit-K can also prevent and treat certain metabolic problems (acidosis) caused by kidney disease. Citric acid and citrate salts (which contain potassium and sodium) belong to a class of drugs known as urinary alkalinizers. If you have a condition that requires you to limit your intake of potassium and sodium, your doctor may direct you to take a product that is lower in potassium and sodium.
How to Use Urocit-K
Take Urocit-K by mouth as directed by your doctor. Follow your doctor's directions carefully. Urocit-K should be taken with meals or a bedtime snack. Swallow Urocit-K with a full glass of water or other liquid (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking Urocit-K. Do not take Urocit-K on an empty stomach. Your doctor may direct you to eat a low-salt (low-sodium) diet and drink lots of fluids. Follow your doctor's directions closely. Do not use salt substitutes that contain potassium.

Use Urocit-K regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.
