Its active ingredient is Potassium Sodium Hydrogen Citrate. Unlike the smaller sachets that usually contain single salts, this complex formula is designed for long-term management of kidney health. It works by neutralizing acid in the urine, creating an environment where stones cannot form or grow. Indications: Uric Acid Stones: The most effective treatment for dissolving and preventing uric acid stones. Cystine Stones: Used to manage rare types of stones by keeping the urine alkaline. Gout Management: Helps the kidneys excrete uric acid more efficiently. Chronic Renal Acidosis: Helps balance body pH in patients with chronic kidney issues. How to Use: Dosage: Typically 1 measuring spoonful (included in the jar) dissolved in water, 3 times daily after meals. Preparation: Dissolve the granules in half a glass of water. Stir well and drink. Monitoring: This medication often comes with pH test strips. You may be asked to test your urine daily to ensure the dosage is keeping your urine pH between 6.2 and 6.8. Crucial Rules: Potassium/Sodium Levels: Because it contains both potassium and sodium, it must be used with caution in patients with Kidney Failure or those on a salt-restricted diet. Avoid Dehydration: You must drink at least 2.5 to 3 liters of water daily to prevent the stones from concentrating. Interactions: Avoid taking it at the same time as heart medications (like ACE inhibitors) or potassium-sparing diuretics without a doctor's approval. Diet: Avoid high-purine foods (red meat, organ meats, some seafood) to help the medicine lower your uric acid levels.
