Potassium citrate
別名: Cystopurin, Potassium citrate BP
Administer with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset. Ensure your pet has access to plenty of fresh water at all times. Do not change the dose without consulting your veterinarian, as too much can cause dangerous changes in blood potassium levels or urine pH. Contact your vet if you notice vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or changes in urination.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
用途
給藥方式
可能的副作用
- Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
- Hyperkalemia (rare if renal function is normal)
注意事項與禁忌
- Renal failure or severe renal impairment
- Hyperkalemia
- Metabolic alkalosis
- Struvite urolithiasis (requires acidic urine)
- > **Monitor serum potassium** levels, especially in patients with compromised renal function or those on concurrent medications that increase potassium. > **Monitor urine pH** to ensure target alkalinity (typically pH 7.0-7.5) is achieved without over-alkalinizing, which could predispose the patient to calcium phosphate or struvite crystal formation.
藥物相互作用
- Spironolactone: Increased risk of hyperkalemia due to potassium-sparing effects
- ACE inhibitors (e.g., Benazepril, Enalapril): Increased risk of hyperkalemia
- NSAIDs: May increase the risk of hyperkalemia in compromised patients
