Drug interaction
Concurrent administration of potassium-containing drugs, potassium sparing diuretics or other drugs that increase potassium levels (e.g. ACE inhibitors, ciclosporin, aliskiren) may lead to hyperkalaemia. May interact with cardiac glycosides. Citrates alkalinise the urine and thus may alter the urinary excretion of a number of drugs. This may lead to increased renal clearance of acidic drugs, such as salicylates, tetracylines and barbiturates, and prolongation of the half-life of basic drugs, such as sympathomimetics and stimulants. Particularly noteworthy is the diminished anti-bacterial activity of nitrofurantoin and methenamine.
