A member asked:
I have cystinuria! 15ml potassium citrate 3 times a day. is it dangerous to raise it by 5ml a little before dinner time to keep my ph at 8?

You're fine: I'm glad you got your diagnosis -- this is easier to manage than kidney stones from other causes. This is a very safe medication and unless your physician disagrees, you can be flexible. Drink plenty of water -- you know that already. Have you been offered penicillamine?
