My urologist prescribe 5 meq 3 times daily. I asked my gp to write a new script and showed them the bottle. She wrote it for 15 meq 1 a day. Is that really the same? I have been getting terrible leg cramps.

Hello, Joyce! How are you?

Yes, that would be the same, just taken all at once, rather than spread throughout the day.

The FDA warns that this medication is very harsh on the stomach, so it should be taken with food.

Is there anything else I can help with?
