Ca x Phos stones: Calcium phosphate kidney stones are a described side effect of Diamox (acetazolamide). If Diamox (acetazolamide) is essential for the treatment of a condition, such as pseudotumor cerebri, then you must work around it. The best agent is citrate. Citrate competes with phosphate or oxalate in urine to bind with calcium. Loading with citrate daily will work. You may take potassium citrate by Rx or lemon extract 6 tablespoons/day
