Sodium containing preparations should be avoided by patients on lithium because sodium is preferentially absorbed by the kidney resulting in increased lithium excretion and reduced plasma levels.
Urinary alkalinizers should not be used with hexamine because it is only effective in acid urine.
The effects of a number of drugs may be reduced or increased by the alkalization of the urine and reduction in gastric pH brought about by the active ingredients in the product.
