Citro Soda (5g Sachets) Ingredients and Usage
Citro Soda is a popular urinary alkalinizer and antacid used primarily to treat the acute discomfort of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and stomach acidity. In Pakistan, it is frequently used to alleviate the burning sensation during urination caused by cystitis. It also serves as an effective remedy for heartburn and acid indigestion.
By neutralizing acids both in the digestive tract and the urinary system, Citro Soda provides dual-purpose relief for common metabolic and excretory discomforts. The 20-sachet pack is perfect for short-term treatment of occasional symptoms. PakMeds ensures this staple is available for quick home delivery to help you manage your comfort effectively.
This product is a must-have for those who suffer from recurring acidity or seasonal urinary issues. The effervescent action ensures that the ingredients are already dissolved, allowing for rapid absorption and onset of action.
How Does Citro Soda (5g Sachets) Work?
Citro Soda works through its effervescent buffering action. In the stomach, sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate act as antacids, neutralizing excess hydrochloric acid to provide immediate relief from “heartburn” sensations. Once absorbed into the bloodstream, the citrate ions are metabolized into bicarbonate.
This process increases the pH of the urine, making it more alkaline. Alkaline urine is much less irritating to the inflamed lining of the bladder and urethra, which significantly reduces the pain and burning sensation during urination. This shift in pH also helps prevent the formation of certain types of kidney stones, such as uric acid stones, by making them more soluble.
Citro Soda (5g Sachets) Side Effects
The most common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances like bloating, flatulence, and belching due to the release of carbon dioxide gas. Overuse or long-term consumption may lead to systemic alkalosis or an electrolyte imbalance, particularly hypernatremia (high sodium levels).
Individuals with sensitive stomachs may experience mild cramping or diarrhea. PakMeds recommends staying within the suggested dosage to avoid these effects. If you experience symptoms like high blood pressure or significant swelling, you should speak with your healthcare provider. Overall, it is very well tolerated for short-term symptomatic relief.
