Kcit Oral Solution contains Potassium Citrate and Citric Acid, a urinary alkalinizing agent used for the management and prevention of kidney stones and conditions associated with acidic urine. It works by increasing urinary pH, reducing the formation of certain types of kidney stones, and helping dissolve existing small stones in some cases.

Potassium Citrate helps maintain a balanced level of citrate in urine, which binds with calcium and prevents the formation of calcium-based kidney stones. Citric Acid supports urine alkalization and enhances the effectiveness of potassium citrate in reducing stone formation. Together, they help reduce urinary discomfort and improve kidney health in patients prone to recurrent stone formation.

Kcit Oral Solution is commonly prescribed for patients with renal tubular acidosis, hypocitraturia, and recurrent kidney stones. It may also help reduce burning urination associated with acidic urine.

Composition

Each 5 ml contains:

• Potassium Citrate 1500 mg
• Citric Acid 250 mg

Indications

Kcit Oral Solution is indicated for:

• Prevention of kidney stones (calcium oxalate and uric acid stones)
• Treatment of renal tubular acidosis

How It Works

Potassium Citrate increases urinary citrate levels and raises urine pH, which reduces crystal formation in the urinary tract. Citric Acid assists in maintaining optimal urinary alkalinity. This combined effect helps prevent stone formation and supports the breakdown of small urinary crystals.
