Uses of Citralka Syrup

Benefits of Citralka Syrup

Treatment of Gout
Citralka Liquid is used to prevent and treat gout. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in your body. When the level becomes too high, crystals may form in and around certain joints and your kidneys. This can cause sudden and severe pain, redness, warmth, and swelling. This medicine works by preventing crystals from forming and reducing the levels of uric acid in your blood. This makes it less likely that you will suffer the symptoms and make them milder if you do have them. It is usually for long-term treatment and should be taken regularly until the dose is completed.

Treatment of Kidney stone
Citralka Liquid helps to treat and prevent the formation of kidney stones. It inhibits stone formation and breaks up small stones that are beginning to form. This medicine helps to form a protective coating on the existing stones and helps prevent other particles from sticking to their surface and becoming bigger in size.

Keep taking Citralka Liquid as prescribed to get the most benefit. Eat citrus-rich fruits such as lemons, oranges, etc., and drink adequate amounts of fluids to prevent the formation of kidney stones.
