Uses For Roychlor


Potassium is needed to maintain good health. Although a balanced diet usually supplies all the potassium a person needs, potassium supplements may be needed by patients who do not have enough potassium in their regular diet or have lost too much potassium because of illness or treatment with certain medicines.


There is no evidence that potassium supplements are useful in the treatment of high blood pressure.


Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.


Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor.


Importance of Diet


For good health, it is important that you eat a balanced and varied diet. Follow carefully any diet program your health care professional may recommend. For your specific dietary vitamin and/or mineral needs, ask your health care professional for a list of appropriate foods.


The following table includes some potassium-rich foods.

The daily amount of potassium needed is defined in several different ways.


  • For U.S.—

  • Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are the amount of vitamins and minerals needed to provide for adequate nutrition in most healthy persons. RDAs for a given nutrient may vary depending on a person's age, sex, and physical condition (e.g., pregnancy).

  • Daily Values (DVs) are used on food and dietary supplement labels to indicate the percent of the recommended daily amount of each nutrient that a serving provides. DV replaces the previous designation of United States Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDAs).

  • For Canada—

  • Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) are used to determine the amounts of vitamins, minerals, and protein needed to provide adequate nutrition and lessen the risk of chronic disease.

Because lack of potassium is rare, there is no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate.


Remember:


  • The total amount of potassium that you get every day includes what you get from food and what you may take as a supplement. Read the labels of processed foods. Many foods now have added potassium.

  • Your total intake of potassium should not be greater than the recommended amounts, unless ordered by your doctor. In some cases, too much potassium may cause muscle weakness, confusion, irregular heartbeat, or difficult breathing.

Before Using Roychlor


If you are taking a dietary supplement without a prescription, carefully read and follow any precautions on the label. For these supplements, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to medicines in this group or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Although there is no specific information comparing use of potassium supplements in children with use in other age groups, they are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than they do in adults.


Geriatric


Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of potassium supplements in the elderly with use in other age groups, they are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than they do in younger adults.


Older adults may be at a greater risk of developing high blood levels of potassium (hyperkalemia).


Pregnancy


Potassium supplements have not been shown to cause problems in humans.


Breast Feeding


Potassium supplements pass into breast milk. However, this medicine has not been reported to cause problems in nursing babies.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking any of these dietary supplements, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Other Medical Problems


The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of dietary supplements in this class. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Addison's disease (underactive adrenal glands) or

  • Dehydration (excessive loss of body water, continuing or severe)

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus or

  • Kidney disease—Potassium supplements may increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high blood levels of potassium), which may worsen or cause heart problems in patients with these conditions.

  • Diarrhea (continuing or severe)—The loss of fluid in combination with potassium supplements may cause kidney problems, which may increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high blood levels of potassium).

  • Heart disease—Potassium supplements may make this condition worse.

  • Intestinal or esophageal blockage—Potassium supplements may damage the intestines.

  • Stomach ulcer—Potassium supplements may make this condition worse.

Proper Use of potassium supplement

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain potassium supplement. It may not be specific to Roychlor. Please read with care.


For patients taking the liquid form of this medicine:


  • This medicine must be diluted in at least one-half glass (4 ounces) of cold water or juice to reduce its possible stomach-irritating or laxative effect.

  • If you are on a salt (sodium)-restricted diet, check with your doctor before using tomato juice to dilute your medicine. Tomato juice has a high salt content.

For patients taking the soluble granule, soluble powder, or soluble tablet form of this medicine:


  • This medicine must be completely dissolved in at least one-half glass (4 ounces) of cold water or juice to reduce its possible stomach-irritating or laxative effect.

  • Allow any "fizzing" to stop before taking the dissolved medicine.

  • If you are on a salt (sodium)-restricted diet, check with your doctor before using tomato juice to dilute your medicine. Tomato juice has a high salt content.

For patients taking the extended-release tablet form of this medicine:


  • Swallow the tablets whole with a full (8-ounce) glass of water. Do not chew or suck on the tablet.

  • Some tablets may be broken or crushed and sprinkled on applesauce or other soft food. However, check with your doctor or pharmacist first, since this should not be done for most tablets.

Missed Dose


If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.


Storage


Keep out of the reach of children.


Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.

Precautions While Using Roychlor


Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits to make sure the medicine is working properly and that possible side effects are avoided. Laboratory tests may be necessary.


Do not use salt substitutes, eat low-sodium foods, especially some breads and canned foods, or drink low-sodium milk unless you are told to do so by your doctor, since these products may contain potassium. It is important to read the labels carefully on all low-sodium food products.


Check with your doctor before starting any physical exercise program, especially if you are out of condition and are taking any other medicine. Exercise and certain medicines may increase the amount of potassium in the blood.


Check with your doctor at once if you notice blackish stools or other signs of stomach or intestinal bleeding. This medicine may cause such a condition to become worse, especially when taken in tablet form.


Roychlor Side Effects


Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.


Stop taking this medicine and check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:


Less common
  • Confusion

  • irregular or slow heartbeat

  • numbness or tingling in hands, feet, or lips

  • shortness of breath or difficult breathing

  • unexplained anxiety

  • unusual tiredness or weakness

  • weakness or heaviness of legs

Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:


Rare
  • Abdominal or stomach pain, cramping, or soreness (continuing)

  • chest or throat pain, especially when swallowing

  • stools with signs of blood (red or black color)

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:


More common
  • Diarrhea

  • nausea

  • stomach pain, discomfort, or gas (mild)

  • vomiting

Sometimes you may see what appears to be a whole tablet in the stool after taking certain extended-release potassium chloride tablets. This is to be expected. Your body has absorbed the potassium from the tablet and the shell is then expelled.


Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.


Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Oracit


Generic Name: citric acid and sodium citrate (SIT rik AS id and SOE dee um SIT rayt)

Brand Names: Bicitra, Cytra-2, Liqui-Dual Citra, Oracit


What is Oracit (citric acid and sodium citrate)?

Citric acid and sodium citrate are both alkalinizing agents that make the urine less acidic.


The combination of citric acid and sodium citrate is used to prevent gout or kidney stones, or metabolic acidosis in people with kidney problems.


Citric acid and sodium citrate may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Oracit (citric acid and sodium citrate)?


You should not use this medication if you have kidney failure, severe heart damage (such as from a prior heart attack), Addison's disease (an adrenal gland disorder), high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia), or if you are severely dehydrated or have heat cramps.

Before you take citric acid and sodium citrate, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, especially kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, a history of heart attack, urinary problems, swelling (edema), or chronic diarrhea (such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease).


Also tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including over-the-counter medications and household remedies.


Citric acid and sodium citrate should be taken after meals to help prevent stomach or intestinal side effects.


The liquid medicine should be mixed with water or juice. Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking citric acid and sodium citrate. Your treatment may include a special diet. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you should eat or avoid to help control your condition.

Avoid using antacids without your doctor's advice, including household baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Antacids that contain aluminum or sodium can interact with citric acid and sodium citrate, causing a serious electrolyte imbalance or aluminum toxicity.


Avoid eating foods that are high in salt, or using extra table salt on your meals.


To be sure citric acid and sodium citrate is helping your condition, your blood and urine may need to be tested often. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not miss any scheduled appointments.


Serious side effects of citric acid and sodium citrate include muscle twitching or cramps, swelling or weight gain, weakness, mood changes, rapid and shallow breathing, fast heart rate, restless feeling, black or bloody stools, severe diarrhea, or seizure (convulsions).


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Oracit (citric acid and sodium citrate)?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

  • kidney failure;




  • severe heart damage (such as from a prior heart attack);




  • Addison's disease (an adrenal gland disorder);




  • high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia); or




  • if you are severely dehydrated or have heat cramps.



If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication. Before you take citric acid and sodium citrate, tell your doctor if you have:


  • kidney disease;


  • congestive heart failure, enlarged heart, or history of heart attack;




  • other heart disease or high blood pressure;




  • low levels of calcium in your blood (hypocalcemia);




  • a urinary tract infection;




  • toxemia of pregnancy;




  • urination problems (or if you are unable to urinate);




  • swelling of your hands or feet, or in your lungs (pulmonary edema); or




  • chronic diarrhea (such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease).




It is not known whether this medication is harmful to an unborn baby. Before taking citric acid and sodium citrate, Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether citric acid and sodium citrate passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby.

How should I take Oracit (citric acid and sodium citrate)?


Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.


Citric acid and sodium citrate should be taken after meals to help prevent stomach or intestinal side effects. You may also need to take the medicine at bedtime. Follow your doctor's instructions.


Shake the oral solution (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. The liquid medicine should be mixed with at lease 4 ounces of water or juice. Drink this mixture slowly and then add a little more water to the same glass, swirl gently and drink right away. You may chill the mixed medicine to make it taste better, but do not allow it to freeze.

Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking citric acid and sodium citrate.


Your treatment may include a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you should eat or avoid to help control your condition.

To be sure citric acid and sodium citrate is helping your condition, your blood and urine may need to be tested often. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not miss any scheduled appointments.


Store citric acid and sodium citrate at room temperature away from moisture, heat, or freezing. Keep the medication in a closed container.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If you are more than 2 hours late in taking your medicine, wait until your next regularly scheduled time to take the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Overdose symptoms may include muscle spasms or seizure (convulsions).


What should I avoid while taking Oracit (citric acid and sodium citrate)?


Avoid using antacids without your doctor's advice, including household baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Antacids that contain aluminum or sodium can interact with citric acid and sodium citrate, causing a serious electrolyte imbalance or aluminum toxicity.


Avoid eating foods that are high in salt, or using extra table salt on your meals.
