Medicinal Benefits:
K-2 Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Magnesium citrate and Potassium citrate. K-2 Syrup is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis with calcium stones, uric acid lithiasis with or without calcium stone, hypocitraturic calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis (kidney stones). K-2 Syrup raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium and citric acid levels; this prevents the crystallisation, growth and accumulation of stone-forming salts.

Avoid taking K-2 Syrup if you have peptic ulcers as K-2 Syrup has ulcerogenic potential, which could lead to further ulceration.
Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of K-2 Syrup . Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you have severe diarrhoea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
