ALKASTON B6 SYP 200ML

About

ALKASTON B6 SYP 200ML is a urinary alkalizer syrup formulated to manage and prevent the recurrence of kidney stones, particularly those composed of uric acid and cystine. Its primary mechanism involves increasing the pH of urine, making it more alkaline, which facilitates the dissolution of these specific types of stones and inhibits their formation. The inclusion of Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is vital as it helps to reduce the urinary excretion of oxalate, a key precursor to calcium oxalate stone formation. This comprehensive action helps to maintain a healthy urinary environment, reducing the risk of stone development and promoting overall renal well-being.
