UROCIT-K (POTASSIUM CITRATE): This medication 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. This medication 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.

After just 4 days on lisinopril I started having severe stomach pains. I stopped taking it without telling my Dr. Three days after stopping I had a horrible panic attack. Restarted the medicine, took it for 8 days and the severe stomach pains returned. Today my Dr switched me to Amlodipine....I hope it works better.

I had been taking Enbrel 4 years and it stopped working. Remicade just had little effect, and that didn't last but four weeks. - I was on 6 week infusion intervals. INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. I was fortunate to have medicare.

I have just started loestrin fe and i am somewhat nervous about the side effects. I am worried it will make me feel like im going crazy and that i will gain weight.

I loved this pill!! I was so upset that they discontinued it just ALL of a sudden. I presently ended up taking the Balziva birth control pill and my sex drive is gone. I did not have this problem with Ovcon-35 AT ALL. Therefore, I am getting ready to try a chewable birth control pill that my gyn recommended that is in place of Ovcon-35. Can't wait to see what happens.

Slight soreness in knees in the first 2 weeks.
