Medicine information
Uses & overview
Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid and Tartaric Acid Granules are ingredients found in certain urinary alkalinising formulations. These products are generally dissolved in water before administration and may be used to help reduce urine acidity and relieve selected symptoms associated with acidic urine, according to the product's approved indications. Sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate contribute to the formulation's alkalinising action. Citric acid and tartaric acid participate in the acid-base reactions that occur when the granules are dissolved and may contribute to the formulation's effervescent properties. The precise effect depends on the quantities of each ingredient and the complete product composition. Healthcare professionals may recommend a urinary alkaliser for selected urinary complaints. However, this formulation does not treat the underlying cause of every urinary symptom and should not be considered a substitute for antibiotics when a bacterial urinary tract infection requires treatment. If you are searching for Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid and Tartaric Acid Granules online in India, review the ingredient strengths, manufacturer's instructions, expiry date and storage requirements before purchasing from a reputable pharmacy. Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use, especially if you have kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure or a condition requiring sodium restriction. Seek medical attention for fever, blood in the urine, severe pain or persistent urinary symptoms.
How to use
Check the prescribed dose: Read the package instructions carefully and confirm the recommended quantity with your doctor or pharmacist. Do not assume all urinary alkaliser products have the same strength. Dissolve before taking: Measure the recommended quantity and dissolve it in the amount of water specified on the packaging. Allow the granules to dissolve fully before drinking. Follow the recommended schedule: Take the prepared solution at the prescribed times. Do not take extra doses to obtain faster relief. Maintain appropriate hydration: Drink fluids according to your healthcare professional's advice. People with kidney disease, heart failure or fluid restrictions may need individual guidance. Check other medicines: Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take, especially medicines affected by changes in urinary pH or sodium and potassium balance. Consider your diet: Follow any dietary advice provided by your healthcare professional, particularly if you have been advised to limit salt or sodium. Monitor your symptoms: Seek medical advice if burning urination persists, worsens or repeatedly returns. Fever, chills, blood in the urine, back pain or severe abdominal pain require prompt medical assessment. Store the granules correctly: Keep the product in its original, tightly closed packaging, protected from moisture and excessive heat, and out of children's reach.
