Baking soda pill could slash cost of preventing painful kidney stones

NCT ID NCT07408076

Summary

This study is testing if sodium bicarbonate (a common, low-cost substance) can work as well as the standard, more expensive prescription medication (potassium citrate) to help prevent kidney stones. Researchers will compare how well each treatment makes a person's urine less acidic, which can reduce stone formation. The goal is to find a more affordable option so more people can stick with their preventive treatment.
