Alkasol

Uses of Alkasol

Urinary alkaliser used to relieve burning urination and symptoms associated with acidic urine (e.g., dysuria in urinary tract infections) and to help prevent/treat certain types of kidney stones where urine alkalinisation is advised.

• •Relieves burning during urination
• •Helps neutralise acidic urine
• •Supports management/prevention of uric acid kidney stones
• •Reduces urinary irritation in UTI adjunct therapy

How it works

Urinary alkalinisers raise urine pH by providing alkaline salts/bicarbonate, which reduces acidity of urine. This can ease irritation and burning during urination and may reduce formation of uric acid/cystine stones when urine is kept less acidic.
