Interactions between your drugs

Major

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.
