Description

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate 1.53 gm syrup- It’s a doctor-trusted urinary alkalizer syrup that works by bringing the normal urine pH level back to normal. Fast relief is obtained in conditions caused by too acidic urine. Every serving contains a prescribed quantity of disodium hydrogen citrate, an alkali salt that is responsible for counteracting acidic urine; it is therefore a highly prescribed solution for UTIs, gout management, syrup therapy, and treatment of cystitis.

The absorption of its liquid formulation is rather fast, therefore suitable for adults and children under professional supervision. Disodium hydrogen citrate, prescribed as a solution for kidney stones, is very popular. The dosage for adults, when it is used as a solution for burning urination, chronic UTIs, and metabolic acidosis, is easily adjustable in its syrup form to produce the same result.

Abibba Pharmacia develops and supplies this syrup under the brand name Abiflow. The company provides WHO-GMP-certified products and is also approved by higher authorities like DCGI and FSSAI.

Working Mechanism of Disodium Hydrogen Citrate for UTI

Once taken, the syrup is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver to produce bicarbonate ions, which are excreted by the kidneys. It increases the urine pH and thus corrects urinary over-acidity. An alkaline urine helps to reduce the formation of urate and calcium oxalate crystals.

Gradually dissolving existing stones and inhibiting the formation of new ones. It increases the solubility of uric acid in the urine, therefore decreasing its secretion and systemic urate burden. It will decrease the irritation to the urothelium from the acidic urine and so relieve the discomfort and pain during a UTI and cystitis from the burning sensation. It will balance the acid load in the bloodstream in mild metabolic acidosis from bicarbonate from citrate metabolism.

Benefits and Uses of Disodium Hydrogen Citrate for Kidney Stones

The key benefits of this syrup include the following.

The syrup provides rapid relief from burning urination, painful micturition, and urinary discomfort associated with UTI and cystitis treatment.
It is very effective for reducing uric acid and for long-term management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout.

Safety Measures and Precautions of Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup

To achieve the best results, patients should be mindful of the following precautions. Being aware of them will not cause any future discomfort.

Never treat yourself or make your own dosage adjustments. The recommended adult dose of disodium hydrogen citrate should always be taken as directed by a licensed practitioner.
Patients with chronic renal failure, renal impairment, or oliguria may only take the syrup under strict nephrological consultation.
People following a low-sodium diet or those with hypertension, congestive heart failure, and edema need to take the dose with caution due to the amount of sodium per dose.
Regularly check the urine pH with a pH strip to keep within the target therapeutic range (usually between 6.0 and 7.0) and to prevent it from becoming too alkaline.
Do not take this syrup with aluminum-based antacids, as citrate might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity.
Do not use in pregnant or lactating women without explicit consultation and close monitoring by a doctor.
Shake the bottle well before taking to distribute the drug equally in the syrup.
