Ural Drug Interactions

Alkalinization of the urine due to the use of Ural, theoretically, may result in a decreased therapeutic effect of the following medications: chlorpropamide, lithium, salicylates and tetracyclines. Alternatively, alkalinization of the urine due to the use of Ural, theoretically, may result in an increased therapeutic effect of the following medications: amphetamines and ephedrine/pseudoephedrine.
Antacid: Concurrent use of antacids with sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate may promote the development of calcium stones in patients with uric acid stones and may also cause hypernatremia.
Concurrent use of aluminium-containing antacids with salts can increase aluminium absorption, possibly resulting in acute aluminium toxicity, especially in patients with renal insufficiency.
Quinolones: Citrates may reduce the solubility of ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin or ofloxacin in the urine. Patients should be observed for signs of crystalluria and nephrotoxicity.
Laxatives: Concurrent administration of citrates with laxatives may have an additive effect.
