Alkasol 1.4 G Description

Alkasol syrup contains disodium hydrogen citrate as an active ingredient. It is used for the treatment of gout and certain kidney stones. This medicine acts by alkalizing the urine and thus increasing the pH of urine. Alkasol increases the solubility of uric acid and eases its excretion from the body which is getting out of the body through urine.

Alkasol syrup should be used with caution in patients suffering from heart, lung or kidney diseases and also in patients who have high sodium or potassium levels. Alkasol syrup must be taken as instructed by the doctor. You must have plenty of water when taking Alkasol syrup. Shake the syrup bottle well, before each use.
