Medicine information
Uses & overview
KMB 6 Dispersible Tablets are a urinary health formulation marketed by Steris Healthcare, combining Potassium Magnesium Citrate and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6). These ingredients have complementary roles in supporting urinary health and may be used in the management of selected metabolic conditions associated with kidney stone formation. Potassium Magnesium Citrate provides citrate salts that can help increase urinary citrate levels and make urine less acidic. Depending on the patient's urinary chemistry, citrate preparations may help reduce the risk of certain types of kidney stones. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, also known as Vitamin B6, supports normal metabolic functions and may be useful in selected patients with increased urinary oxalate levels when prescribed for an appropriate indication. Key Ingredients and Their Roles Potassium Magnesium Citrate 978 mg: Citrate salts may help increase urinary citrate, which can bind calcium in urine and reduce the formation of certain calcium-containing kidney stones. Their effectiveness depends on the type of stone, urinary chemistry, dosage, and individual medical condition. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) IP 15 mg: Vitamin B6 plays a role in normal protein and amino acid metabolism. In selected patients, pyridoxine may help reduce urinary oxalate production associated with specific metabolic conditions. Its suitability depends on the underlying cause of elevated urinary oxalate. Dispersible Tablet Formulation: The tablet is designed to be dispersed in water according to the product's approved instructions, making administration convenient for patients who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. KMB 6 Dispersible Tablets by Steris Healthcare should be used according to medical advice. A healthcare professional may recommend urine testing, kidney function assessment, or stone analysis to determine whether this formulation is appropriate.
