Medical Description
Citralka is a urine alkalizer containing disodium hydrogen citrate. It is used for treating gout and certain kidney stones. It alkalizes urine by increasing the pH of urine. This increases the solubility of uric acid and gets it out of the body through urine. Diarrhoea, weakness, stomach pain and nausea/vomiting may occur as side effects in some individuals with the use of Citralka liquid.
Citralka liquid inhibits the production of uric acid in the body. Thereby leading to a decrease in gouty attacks and preventing kidney stones. It should be taken in doses and duration as prescribed by the doctor. Shake the bottle well, before each use. You must have plenty of water when taking the Citralka liquid.
