Alcasol Oral Solution (1500 mg + 250 mg)/5 ml is a urinary alkalinizing agent that contains Potassium Citrate and Citric Acid. It is commonly used to manage urinary tract conditions by reducing acidity in the urine. This helps in the prevention and treatment of kidney stones, as well as providing relief from burning urination and other discomforts associated with urinary tract disorders.

Composition

• Potassium Citrate 1500 mg per 5 ml
• Citric Acid 250 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action

Alcasol Oral Solution works by increasing the pH of urine, making it less acidic. Potassium citrate is metabolized into bicarbonate, which neutralizes excess acid in the urine. This change in urinary pH helps prevent the formation, growth, and aggregation of certain types of kidney stones, particularly uric acid and cystine stones. Citric acid further enhances the alkalinizing effect and supports urinary health.
