Citralka Liquid 200ml

Citralka Liquid is used to manage urinary tract infections by creating an environment that prevents bacterial growth. It also helps dissolve certain types of kidney stones, including uric acid, cystine, and calcium oxalate stones. Additionally, this medicine aids in reducing uric acid levels to treat gout and helps correct blood acidity caused by kidney disease through its bicarbonate content.

Use Citralka Liquid as follows:

• Shake well before use.

• This medicine should be mixed with water or milk prior to consumption. However, adults may opt to consume it undiluted and follow up with a glass of water.

• Always take your doses after meals to minimise stomach upset.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine.

Citralka Liquid is taken orally.

Citralka Liquid contains disodium hydrogen citrate (1.53 GM), which works on your body as follows:

• Increases Urinary pH: Disodium hydrogen citrate is metabolised into bicarbonate, which is excreted through urine. This process increases the pH of urine, making it more alkaline. An alkaline environment in urine enhances the solubility of uric acid and cystine, helping dissolve certain types of kidney stones and preventing their formation.

• Releases Citrate Ions: The breakdown of disodium hydrogen citrate releases citrate ions into urine. These ions bind with calcium, reducing its likelihood to form calcium-containing kidney stones.

• Creates Unfavourable Environment for Bacteria: The increased alkalinity in urine creates an unfavourable environment for bacteria that cause UTIs.

• Keep Citralka Liquid at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep this medication out of reach of children.

• If you're taking Citralka Liquid for kidney stones, remember to drink plenty of water daily. This ensures a good urine flow which can help prevent stone formation.

• For managing gout, try reducing your intake of purine-rich foods like meat and seafood, as these may increase uric acid levels in your body.
