CITAL UTI SUSP 100M

About

CITAL UTI SUSP 100M is a urinary alkalinizer, typically containing disodium hydrogen citrate or similar compounds. Its primary mechanism involves increasing the pH of urine, making it less acidic. This action helps to alleviate the burning sensation and discomfort associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other conditions causing acidic urine. By creating a less acidic environment, it can also enhance the efficacy of certain antibiotics that work better in alkaline urine, thereby supporting the overall treatment of UTIs.

Beyond symptomatic relief, this suspension plays a crucial role in preventing the formation of certain types of kidney stones, particularly uric acid stones, by increasing the solubility of uric acid in the urine. It is often prescribed as an adjuvant therapy to manage dysuria and maintain urinary pH balance, contributing to patient comfort and preventing recurrence of related urinary issues. Its formulation as a suspension ensures ease of administration and rapid onset of action.
