How Alkamed Syrup works

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate makes the urine less acidic, which eases burning and discomfort while passing urine.

How to take Alkamed Syrup

Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with water, after food. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can disturb the body's salt balance and cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Alkamed Syrup

Most side effects of Alkamed are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Nausea
• Loose motions
• Stomach upset

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Alkamed Syrup

Warnings and precautions

This eases the symptoms; it does not treat a urinary infection. See a doctor if you have fever, back or flank pain, blood in the urine, or symptoms lasting more than a couple of days — an infection needs an antibiotic. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart failure or are on a salt-restricted diet; these preparations carry a sodium or potassium load.

Do not take Alkamed if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with significant kidney disease or a high blood potassium level, without medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines

Changing the acidity of urine affects how some medicines are cleared — tell your doctor what you take.

How to store Alkamed Syrup

Expert advice for Alkamed Syrup

Drink two to three litres of water a day unless your doctor has restricted fluids. Do not delay seeing a doctor if symptoms persist.
