Medicinal Benefits:

Oricitral Lemon Syrup is a urinary alkaliser indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, gout and kidney stones. Oricitral Lemon Syrup contains disodium hydrogen citrate, which metabolises to bicarbonate and increases the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; this increases the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionises uric acid to soluble urate ion.
