Alkaston-B6 Oral Solution is taken orally.

Alkaston-B6 Oral Solution contains three active ingredients:

• Potassium Citrate (1100 mg): This component works by increasing urine pH and citrate levels, thereby making conditions less favourable for stone formation. It also decreases calcium excretion while increasing urinary phosphate to reduce supersaturation, a condition that can trigger stone formation. In cases of renal tubular acidosis, it corrects metabolic acidosis.

• Magnesium Citrate (375 mg): This ingredient binds with oxalate in your intestine, which reduces oxalate absorption and excretion in urine. It also increases urine pH and citrate levels, inhibiting the formation of calcium oxalate crystals, which can form stones.

• Vitamin B6/Pyridoxine (20 mg): Vitamin B6 acts as a cofactor for enzymes that metabolise oxalate, potentially lowering its production in the body. Deficiency of this vitamin has been linked to an increased risk of stones. It also supports the health of the nervous system and red blood cells.

• Store Alkaston-B6 Oral Solution at room temperature between 20°-25°C.

• Safeguard the medicine from light and moisture.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Place the medicine out of reach of children.

• Limit your intake of animal protein such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. These foods can contribute to kidney stone formation which Alkaston-B6 Oral Solution helps manage.

• Drink plenty of water every day. Staying well-hydrated can help prevent kidney stones, a condition this medicine is used for.
