What Is Lithostat?
Lithostat (acetohydroxamic acid) tablets are a urease inhibitor indicated as adjunctive therapy in patients with chronic urea-splitting urinary infection. AHA is intended to decrease urinary ammonia and alkalinity, but it should not be used in lieu of curative surgical treatment (for patients with stones) or antimicrobial treatment. Long-term treatment with AHA may be warranted to maintain urease inhibition as long as urea-splitting infection is present. Common side effects of Lithostat include:
- mild headaches,
- shaking,
- nervousness,
- nausea,
