ALKASOL LIQ 200ML

About

Urinary alkalinizers are commonly used to increase the pH of urine, making it less acidic. This therapeutic action is vital in the management of various urological conditions, particularly in the dissolution of uric acid stones and the prevention of their recurrence. By maintaining an alkaline urine environment, it also significantly reduces the irritation of the bladder and urethra, offering symptomatic relief in conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), dysuria, and bladder spasms. The primary mechanism involves the metabolism of citrate, often the active component, into bicarbonate within the body. This bicarbonate then buffers the excess acid in the urine, effectively raising its pH. This approach not only aids in stone management but also creates an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth in UTIs, making it a multifaceted treatment option for promoting urinary tract health and comfort.
