Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Citralka Liquid. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Citralka Liquid

Citralka Liquid contains Disodium Hydrogen Citrate (1.53gm/5ml). It belongs to the Citrate salt (systemic/urinary alkaliniser) class of medicines.

Uses of Citralka Liquid

  • Urinary alkaliniser for burning urination
  • Metabolic acidosis (as prescribed)
  • Adjunct in urinary tract infections
  • Helps prevent
  • Treat uric acid kidney stones by alkalinising urine

Benefits of Citralka Liquid

In Burning during urination
Citralka makes the urine less acidic, which soothes the burning and stinging when passing urine while the cause is treated.
In Urinary tract discomfort
Citralka relieves the discomfort, urgency and irritation of a bladder that is inflamed or infected, alongside plenty of fluids and any antibiotic prescribed.
In Prevention of urinary stones
Citralka changes the chemistry of the urine so that stone-forming crystals are less likely to form and small stones are easier to pass.

How Citralka Liquid works

Disodium hydrogen citrate is metabolized to bicarbonate, increasing urinary pH. Alkaline urine reduces irritation during urination and helps dissolve/prevent uric acid stone formation.

How to take Citralka Liquid

Shake well before use. Dilute prescribed dose in a glass of water and take after meals, usually 2-3 times daily or as directed. Drink plenty of fluids unless restricted.

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 Citralka Liquid

Most side effects of Citralka are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • vomiting
  • stomach upset
  • diarrhea
  • abdominal discomfort
  • belching

Stop the medicine and get help at once 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.
