About
ALKASOL Syrup is a widely recognized urinary alkalizer, primarily composed of disodium hydrogen citrate. Upon ingestion, this compound is metabolized into bicarbonate ions, which are subsequently excreted by the kidneys, leading to a significant increase in urinary pH. This alkalizing effect is therapeutically beneficial in several ways: it effectively alleviates the burning sensation and discomfort commonly experienced during urinary tract infections by making the urine less irritating. Moreover, by increasing urinary pH, ALKASOL Syrup helps to prevent the crystallization and formation of uric acid and cystine kidney stones, and can even aid in the dissolution of existing stones. It is a crucial medication for maintaining optimal urinary pH, thereby supporting urinary tract health and preventing stone recurrence in susceptible individuals.
