KMB 6 DISPERSIBLE TABLETS

KMB 6 is a dispersible tablet that delivers three actives in one dose: potassium, magnesium, and citrate, along with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). It is designed for people who form kidney stones or who have urine that is too acidic or too low in citrate.

How does it work?

• Citrate is a natural stone inhibitor in urine. It binds calcium, so less calcium is free to combine with oxalate and form crystals. Many stone formers have low urinary citrate. The body turns the citrate in this tablet into bicarbonate, which makes urine less acidic and raises urinary citrate.
• Higher urine pH helps dissolve uric acid crystals and makes stone formation less likely.
• Potassium is a better partner for citrate than sodium. Sodium raises urinary calcium and works against stone prevention, while potassium does not.
• Magnesium binds oxalate in the gut and in urine, which can reduce the formation of calcium oxalate crystals.
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps the body handle oxalate. In people whose bodies make too much oxalate, B6 can lower how much is produced and excreted. A deficiency of B6 is linked with higher urinary oxalate.

Why Is Potassium Magnesium Citrate Important?

Kidney stones are one of the most common urological problems in India, and the country sits in the "stone belt" region of the world. Hot weather, sweating, low water intake, and diets high in salt and animal protein all raise the risk. The pain of a stone attack is severe, and stones tend to come back. Studies suggest a large share of stone formers will form another stone within several years if nothing changes.

Potassium magnesium citrate is important for five reasons:

1. It targets the chemistry behind stones. It corrects low citrate and acidic urine, two common and treatable causes.
2. It helps prevent recurrence. Preventing the next stone is often easier than treating one.
3. It suits different stone types. It is used in calcium oxalate stones with low urinary citrate and in uric acid stones, where raising urine pH helps.
4. It combines multiple protective actions in one dose. Citrate, potassium, magnesium, and B6 each play a role, which simplifies the routine.
5. It fits Indian diets and lifestyles. Many stone formers eat high-salt foods, and potassium-based citrate helps offset some of that effect.

Steris Healthcare manufactures KMB 6 under WHO-GMP and ISO-certified quality systems, so urologists, nephrologists, pharmacists, and distributors get consistent quality.

Key Benefits 

• Raises urinary citrate: A natural inhibitor of calcium stone formation.
• Alkalinises urine: Helps prevent uric acid stones and supports dissolution of existing uric acid stones in selected patients.
• Reduces recurrence risk: When combined with fluids and diet changes, it supports long-term stone prevention.
• Supports oxalate control: Magnesium and vitamin B6 work on oxalate handling.
• Easy-to-take format: Dissolves in water and adds to daily fluid intake.
• Supports renal tubular acidosis management: Helps correct acid-base balance as directed by a specialist.
• Provides potassium and magnesium: Useful in patients who lose these minerals, under medical supervision.
• Convenient strip: Fits a routine of taking a dose after meals.

Uses of KMB 6

• Prevention of recurrent kidney stones, especially calcium oxalate stones
• Hypocitraturia (low citrate in urine)
• Uric acid stones and uric acid–related stone disease, where urine alkalinisation is required
• Renal tubular acidosis (RTA), as directed by a nephrologist
• Mild hyperoxaluria, where B6 and magnesium support oxalate control
• Urine alkalinisation in selected patients, as decided by the treating doctor
• After stone removal procedures (such as lithotripsy or ureteroscopy) to lower the chance of new stones, as advised by a urologist

Precautions Before Taking 

Tell your doctor your full medical history before starting this medicine.

Do not use if:

• You have high blood potassium (hyperkalaemia) or high blood magnesium (hypermagnesaemia)
• You have severe kidney impairment or very low urine output
• You have an active urinary tract infection with urea-splitting bacteria, or struvite (infection) stones. Alkalinising the urine can make these worse.
• You have a stomach or intestinal ulcer, obstruction, or delayed stomach emptying, since potassium salts can irritate the gut
• You have untreated Addison's disease or severe dehydration
• You have heart block or a serious heart rhythm disorder, unless your cardiologist approves
• You are allergic to any ingredient in the tablet

Use with caution or under close supervision if you have:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Mild-to-moderate kidney disease
• A history of GI problems
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Use only if the doctor decides the benefit outweighs the risk.

Side Effects 

Most people tolerate potassium magnesium citrate well, especially when taken after meals with plenty of water.

Common:

• Nausea or an upset stomach
• Loose stools or diarrhoea (magnesium effect)
• Bloating or abdominal discomfort
• A mild salty or bitter taste

Less common:

• Vomiting
• Flatulence
