Citral Soda Urinary Alkalinizer Effervescent Granules Sachet 4gx12's
Product Registration Number: MAL20126025XC
Sodium bicarbonate acts as urinary alkalinizer by excretion of free bicarbonate ions in the urine, thus effectively raising the urinary pH. By maintaining alkaline urine, the actual dissolution of uric acid stones may be accomplished. It also acts as antacid by chemically neutralizing or buffering existing quantities of stomach acid but has no direct effect in its output. This action results in increased pH value of stomach contents, thus providing relief of hyperacidity symptoms.
Indications:
- Urinary alkalinization where indicated in the treatment of mild urinary tract infections.
- Symptomatic relief of dysuria.
- In gout, especially treated with uricosurics and possibly allopurinol.
- Symptomatic treatment of gastric hyperacidity.
Product Features:
- Lemon Flavour.
- No added sugar.

- Adults: 1-2 sachets (4g-8g) in a glass containing 200mL of water, 2-3 times daily.

Each 4g sachet contains:
- Sodium bicarbonate BP 1.76g

Cautions:
- Should not be taken by patients on a sodium-restricted diet.
- Use in pregnancy and nursing mothers should be considered only when the possible benefits outweigh the potential risks.
- Excessive doses of sodium salts may also lead to sodium overload and hyperosmolarity.
