Alkasol Effervescent Powder - 28 Sachets x 4 gm

Product Description:

• Alkasol Effervescent Granules is a medication used to provide relief from the discomfort associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and certain other conditions related to urine acidity.
• It works by increasing the alkalinity (reducing the acidity) of the urine, which can help alleviate burning sensations and pain during urination.
• The lemon flavor makes it more palatable.

Product Features:

• Relief of symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as painful urination (dysuria), increased frequency, and urgency.
  
• Alkalization of urine in conditions where it is beneficial, including:
  
• Management of uric acid kidney stones.
  
• Management of cystine kidney stones.
  
• Potentially enhancing the efficacy of certain antibiotics used to treat UTIs.
  
• Relief of discomfort from bladder inflammation (cystitis).
  
• Sometimes used to treat metabolic acidosis (excess acid in the body) under medical supervision.

• The typical dosage for adults is:
  
• One sachet (4gm) dissolved in a glass of water, three times daily, preferably after meals.

Caution & Warnings:
