Citralka: Frequently Asked Questions Answered

What is Citralka?

Citralka is a urine alkalizer containing disodium hydrogen citrate. It prevents and treats kidney stones and gouty arthritis. It reduces the amount of uric acid the body produces, thus checking the formation of stones. Uric acid is a waste product produced when our digestive system breaks down purine, a chemical very commonly found in our food. When the body is not able to eliminate uric acid, it forms crystals and stones that accumulate in the body causing inflammation and pain.

Citralka is available as a syrup. Your physician will recommend the ideal dosage according to your symptoms and their severity.

What are the uses of Citralka?

Citralka is used to prevent and lessen the development of kidney stones and gout. 

When the level of uric acid in your body increases, it forms crystals around the joints and kidneys. This is called gout. These crystals can cause swelling and painful bumps, making it difficult to walk or move the arms.

Disodium hydrogen citrate helps maintain the pH of urine, thereby eliminating gout crystals and kidney stones.

Citralka also helps treat kidney stones by breaking down the stones into smaller pieces that pass through the urine.
