hyoscyamine potassium citrate
Applies to: Urised (benzoic acid / hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and potassium citrate
The following interaction applies only if you are taking potassium in a solid formulation (i.E., tablet or capsule swallowed whole):
Talk to your doctor before using potassium oral tablets or capsules together with hyoscyamine. Depending on the dose of hyoscyamine and your overall physical health, combining these medications may increase the irritant effects of potassium on your stomach and upper intestine. This can rarely result in ulcers, bleeding, and other gastrointestinal injury. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, bloating, sudden dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting (especially with blood), loss of appetite, and/or black, tarry stools during treatment with these medications. Alternatively, a liquid formulation of potassium may be considered when used in combination with hyoscyamine. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
methenamine potassium citrate
Applies to: Urised (benzoic acid / hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and potassium citrate
Potassium citrate may reduce the effectiveness of methenamine in treating your condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
potassium citrate phenyl salicylate
Applies to: potassium citrate and Urised (benzoic acid / hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate)
Using potassium citrate together with phenyl salicylate may decrease the effects of phenyl salicylate. Contact your doctor if your condition changes.

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
