Alkacitral 1.25 MG/5ML Description

Alkacitral syrup is a urinary alkaliser used for treating gout and certain kidney stones. It contains disodium hydrogen citrate as the active substance. This syrup alkalizes urine by increasing its pH. This increases the solubility of uric acid and removes it from the body through urine.

Alkacitral syrup should be used with caution in patients suffering from any kidney, heart, or lung disease or who have high sodium or potassium levels in the body. It should be taken in the correct doses and for the exact duration as prescribed by the doctor.

You must have plenty of water when taking Alkacitral syrup. Do not stop taking this medicine on your own. Before using this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.
