About K Mac B6 Syrup

K Mac B6 Syrup is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis and kidney stones. It also helps alleviate burning sensations during urination. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. Renal tubular acidosis is a condition in which the kidneys fail to excrete acids into the urine, which causes the blood to remain too acidic.

K Mac B6 Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely: Magnesium citrate, Potassium citrate, and Pyridoxine. K Mac B6 Syrup raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium, and citric acid levels, which prevents the crystallisation, growth, and accumulation of stone-forming salts.
