Urologist,  's  Response
Hi
Since you are a recurrent stone former, I presume you have had full metabolic evaluation including 24 hour urine collection tests. If not please see an urologist in this regard.

Blemaren contains citrate and it is also available in many other brand names as K-Cit, citralka etc. Although composition varies, the basic mechanism is to increase citrate levels in urine and reduce acidity of urine.
Alternatively to increase citrate levels in your urine, you could take two lime per day in any form.
