About Proliser Syrup Sugar Free

CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE belongs to the class of medications called ‘alkalinizing agents’ used to prevent gout, and kidney stones and treats metabolic acidosis in patients with kidney diseases. Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid crystals are deposited in the joints leading to severe pain, redness, and swelling. A kidney stone is a condition in which hard deposits are accumulated in the kidney forming stones. Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which excess acid is accumulated in the body due to kidney failure.

CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE is a combination of two medicines: Citric acid and Potassium citrate. Citric acid prevents the formation of deposits by binding with the salts, and it also breaks down the small deposits that are beginning to form. Potassium citrate is alkaline in nature and works by neutralizing the acids in the blood and urine, thereby preventing the accumulation of salts in the body.

CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE is available in the form of oral liquid. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE may cause side effects such as diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are mild and temporary. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worsen.

To treat your condition, effectually continue taking CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not take CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE if you are allergic to Citric acid, potassium citrate, or any other ingredients present in it. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE. It should not be used in patients with severe kidney failure, severe heart damage, severe dehydration, heat cramps, Addison’s disease (an adrenal gland disorder), and hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood). CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE should not be given to children unless prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking CITRIC ACID+POTASSIUM CITRATE as it might increase certain side effects. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.
