Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

DISODIUM HYDROGEN CITRATE-1.4GM/5ML

Uses:

Treatment of Renal tubular acidosis, Kidney stones.

Medicinal Benefits:

Dish Syrup is a urinary alkaliser indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, gout and kidney stones. Dish Syrup contains disodium hydrogen citrate, which metabolises to bicarbonate and increases the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; this increases the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionises uric acid to soluble urate ion. This helps in increasing the urinary pH, thereby making the urine less acidic. Dish Syrup may also help to treat urinary tract infections.
