K2 B6 SOLUTION 200 ML

About

K2 B6 Solution is a specialized therapeutic agent formulated for the comprehensive management and prevention of kidney stones, particularly those composed of calcium oxalate and uric acid. This solution typically combines potassium citrate and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6). Potassium citrate acts as a potent urinary alkalizer, increasing both urinary pH and citrate levels. Citrate is a natural inhibitor of stone formation, binding with calcium to prevent its crystallization and also inhibiting the aggregation of uric acid crystals. Pyridoxine, or Vitamin B6, plays a crucial role by reducing the urinary excretion of oxalate, a primary component of calcium oxalate stones. This dual mechanism of action makes K2 B6 Solution highly effective in reducing the risk of stone recurrence, promoting a healthier urinary environment, and supporting overall renal function in patients prone to nephrolithiasis.
