Urinary alkaliniser for burning urination, metabolic acidosis (as prescribed), adjunct in urinary tract infections, helps prevent/treat uric acid kidney stones by alkalinising urine

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

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.

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

Use with caution in kidney disease, heart failure, edema, hypertension, or sodium-restricted diet due to sodium load. Overuse may cause alkalosis or electrolyte imbalance. Consult doctor if symptoms persist, fever/flank pain occurs, or blood in urine is present.

Methenamine (reduced effect in alkaline urine), lithium (reduced excretion may increase levels), aluminum-containing antacids (increased aluminum absorption with citrate), salicylates (altered excretion)

Store below 25°C, tightly closed. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
