The detailed uses of Urofit Syrup are as follows:&lt;br/&gt;&bull; Prevention and treatment of kidney stones: Urofit Syrup helps prevent the formation of calcium oxalate and uric acid kidney stones by alkalinising the urine and reducing urinary oxalate levels.&lt;br/&gt;&bull; Management of renal tubular acidosis (RTA): Urofit Syrup is used to treat RTA by correcting the body&#039;s acid-base balance, thereby preventing stone formation and bone demineralization.&lt;br/&gt;

Medicinal Benefits:

Urofit Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely: Magnesium citrate, Potassium citrate, and Pyridoxine. Urofit Syrup is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, and kidney stones. It prevents the recurrence of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis (calcium oxalate stones) and uric acid lithiasis (uric acid stones) with or without calcium stones. It also helps alleviate a burning sensation during urination. Urofit Syrup raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium, and citric acid levels, which prevents the crystallisation, growth, and accumulation of stone-forming salts.
