- In severe epileptic disorders in children with short jerky spasms of certain muscles (myoclonic syndromes)

Kbr Tablets is a mineral that is found in many foods and is needed for several functions of your body, especially the beating of your heart.

Kbr Tablets citrate is used to treat a kidney stone condition called renal tubular acidosis.

Kbr Tablets citrate may also be used for other purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Dosing Instructions

Treatment with extended release Kbr Tablets Citrate should be added to a regimen that limits salt intake (avoidance of foods with high salt content and of added salt at the table) and encourages high fluid intake (urine volume should be at least two liters per day). The objective of treatment with Kbr Tablets Citrate extended-release tablets is to provide Kbr Tablets Citrate in sufficient dosage to restore normal urinary citrate (greater than 320 mg/day and as close to the normal mean of 640 mg/day as possible), and to increase urinary pH to a level of 6 or 7.

Monitor serum electrolytes (sodium, Kbr Tablets, chloride and carbon dioxide), serum creatinine and complete blood counts every four months and more frequently in patients with cardiac disease, renal disease or acidosis. Perform electrocardiograms periodically. Treatment should be discontinued if there is hyperkalemia, a significant rise in serum creatinine or a significant fall in blood hemocrit or hemoglobin.

Severe Hypocitraturia

In patients with severe hypocitraturia (urinary citrate < 150 mg/day), therapy should be initiated at a dosage of 60 mEq/day (30 mEq two times/day or 20 mEq three times/day with meals or within 30 minutes after meals or bedtime snack). Twenty-four hour urinary citrate and/or urinary pH measurements should be used to determine the adequacy of the initial dosage and to evaluate the effectiveness of any dosage change. In addition, urinary citrate and/or pH should be measured every four months. Doses of Kbr Tablets Citrate extended-release tablets greater than 100 mEq/day have not been studied and should be avoided.

Mild to Moderate Hypocitraturia

In patients with mild to moderate hypocitraturia (urinary citrate > 150 mg/day) therapy should be initiated at 30 mEq/day (15 mEq two times/day or 10 mEq three times/day with meals or within 30 minutes after meals or bedtime snack). Twenty-four hour urinary citrate and/or urinary pH measurements should be used to determine the adequacy of the initial dosage and to evaluate the effectiveness of any dosage change. Doses of Kbr Tablets Citrate extended-release tablet greater than 100 mEq/day have not been studied and should be avoided.

Against all drug hypersensitivity reactions can occur, then you need to stop taking the drug immediately. If even an allergy to the drug or any of the other ingredients of the medicine is known, it should not be used. Asthma

This medication is a mineral supplement used to treat or prevent low amounts of Kbr Tablets in the blood. A normal level of Kbr Tablets in the blood is important. Kbr Tablets helps your cells, kidneys, heart, muscles, and nerves work properly. Most people get enough Kbr Tablets by eating a well-balanced diet. Some conditions that can lower your body's Kbr Tablets level include severe prolonged diarrhea and vomiting, hormone problems such as hyperaldosteronism, or treatment with "water pills"/diuretics.

How to use Kbr Tablets

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 4 times daily. To prevent stomach upset, take each dose with a meal. Dissolve the prescribed number of tablets in at least 4 ounces (120 milliliters) of cold water or juice per tablet. After the tablets are fully dissolved, sip the liquid slowly over 5 to 10 minutes. If you have upset stomach, mixing your dose in a larger amount of liquid may help.

Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed.

Kbr Tablets is the major cation (positive ion) inside animal cells, while sodium is the major cation outside animal cells. The concentration differences of these charged particles causes a difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of cells, known as the membrane potential. The balance between Kbr Tablets and sodium is maintained by ion pumps in the cell membrane. The cell membrane potential created by Kbr Tablets and sodium ions allows the cell generate an action potential—a "spike" of electrical discharge. The ability of cells to produce electrical discharge is critical for body functions such as neurotransmission, muscle contraction, and heart function. Kbr Tablets is also an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance, blood pressure and levels of acidity.
