About Alkaroz 1.4gm Syrup
Alkaroz 1.4gm Syrup is used for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, gout and kidney stones. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a condition where the kidneys fail to properly remove acid from the blood, leading to a buildup of acid in the body. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine.
Alkaroz 1.4gm Syrup contains disodium hydrogen citrate, which metabolizes to bicarbonate and increases the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; this increases the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionizes uric acid to soluble urate ion.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects will resolve gradually over time. If you experience these side effects persistently, consult your doctor.
Tell your doctor if you are allergic to any one of the medicine components. Consult your doctor before taking Alkaroz 1.4gm Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Talk to a doctor before giving Alkaroz 1.4gm Syrup to children. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
