POTRATE MB 6 SOLN 200ML

About

POTRATE MB 6 SOLN 200ML is a specialized oral solution formulated for the comprehensive management and prevention of various kidney stone types. It typically contains a combination of potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). The citrates work by increasing urinary pH, making the urine more alkaline, which is crucial for dissolving uric acid and cystine stones and inhibiting the formation of calcium oxalate stones. Additionally, citrate binds with calcium, preventing its crystallization. Vitamin B6 plays a vital role in reducing the urinary excretion of oxalate, a primary component of calcium oxalate stones. This synergistic action provides robust protection against recurrent urolithiasis.
