CITRUM MB 6 SOLUTION 450ML

About

Citrum MB 6 Solution is a specialized formulation designed to address the complex issue of kidney stone prevention and management, leveraging the synergistic effects of citrate and Vitamin B6. Citrate, typically in the form of potassium or magnesium citrate, functions as a potent urinary alkalinizer. It effectively raises the pH of urine, creating an environment less conducive to the crystallization of common stone-forming minerals like calcium oxalate and uric acid. Furthermore, citrate actively binds to calcium in the urine, thereby reducing its free concentration and inhibiting its participation in stone formation. Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, complements this action by playing a crucial role in metabolic pathways that reduce the excretion of oxalate, a primary component of calcium oxalate stones. This dual-action approach provides a robust strategy for minimizing the risk of recurrent nephrolithiasis and supporting long-term urinary tract health.

Uses

• Prevention of recurrent kidney stones
• Management of renal tubular acidosis
• Urinary alkalinization
• Supplementation in B6 deficiency related to stone formation

• Muscle weakness
• Fatigue
• Tingling sensation (with high B6 doses)
• Headache

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Limit alcohol intake as it can contribute to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, potentially affecting the medication's efficacy.
• Pregnancy - Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy. Use only if the potential benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus.
• Breastfeeding - Consult a doctor before use during breastfeeding. While B6 is generally safe, citrate components should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with severe liver disease, as it may impact electrolyte balance and metabolism.
• Kidney - Contraindicated in severe renal impairment due to the risk of hyperkalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Close monitoring is required in moderate cases.
• Lung - Generally considered safe for patients with lung conditions, but caution is advised in those with pre-existing respiratory alkalosis.
