Cystopurin 3g Granules For Oral Solution 6 Sachets

Description

Cystopurin is used to relieve the symptoms of cystitis. The active substance in Cystopurin is potassium citrate. Potassium citrate helps to relieve the symptoms of cystitis by making your urine less acidic, reducing the discomfort caused by acidic urine.

Cystitis is a distressing condition caused by an infection and/or inflammation of the bladder. It is normally no more than a painful nuisance and only rarely becomes more serious. Cystitis will occur in 4 out of 5 women at least once in their lifetime so it is a very common complaint and the attacks usually cause no lasting damage. Cystitis can also occur in men and children, but this is quite rare and medical advice should be sought.

Benefits & Features:

• Cystopurin is a low-sodium 48 hour treatment for the symptoms of cystitis.
• Each pack contains 6 sachets which mix with water to make cranberry flavour drinks.
• Cystopurin works by counteracting the acidity of your urine, helping to relieve the burning, stinging pain on passing water.

How to use:

• Dissolve the contents of one sachet in a glass of cold water (about 200ml) and drink, three times a day for two days.
• Take all six sachets to complete the course.
• While you have cystitis, avoid alcohol, fruit juices, coffee and strong tea.
• Not for children under 6.

Safety information

Who should not use it:

Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Ask your doctor before use if you have kidney or heart problems, high blood pressure, or are on a low-potassium or low-sodium diet (each sachet contains potassium). Men, children, pregnant women, and anyone with a high temperature or back or loin pain, should see a doctor rather than self-treat.

Warnings & precautions:

This eases the symptoms but does not treat the underlying infection. See your doctor if you are no better, or feel worse, after 2 days. Drink plenty of water. Contains aspartame (phenylalanine), which matters if you have phenylketonuria.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding:

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Possible side effects:

Mild tummy upset. Taking too much potassium over a long period can raise the potassium level in your blood.

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
