About Oxalo Capsule

Oxalo Capsule is a supplement formulated to support digestive health and assist in the management of high oxalate levels in the body. It works by maintaining a healthy balance of the natural bacteria in your gut, which helps relieve chronic digestive issues and reduces the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones. While digestive improvements may be noticed within a few weeks, lowering urinary oxalate levels typically requires several months of continuous use. Your doctor may recommend periodic urine tests to monitor your progress over time.

Take this supplement consistently every day as directed by your healthcare provider. It is best taken with meals to help the active bacteria survive stomach acid. Antibiotics can destroy these beneficial strains and significantly reduce their effectiveness. To prevent this, you must take this supplement at least two hours before or after any antibiotic doses.

Most people tolerate this probiotic well, though you may experience mild gas or bloating when first starting. However, you should stop taking the supplement and contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Introducing live bacteria can pose a serious infection risk for vulnerable groups. You must consult your gastroenterologist before use if you have active inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), a compromised immune system, short bowel syndrome, structural bowel abnormalities, or are recovering from recent surgery. Furthermore, this supplement is intended for adults and should not be given to children unless explicitly suggested by a paediatrician, nor used during pregnancy or breastfeeding without prior medical guidance.

Uses of Oxalo Capsule

Your doctor may recommend this supplement to help manage the following conditions:

  • Prevention of calcium oxalate kidney stones: While clinical evidence is promising but still evolving, it helps break down dietary oxalate in the gut, which reduces the amount of oxalate absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted in the urine.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): It helps restore a healthy balance of the natural bacteria in your gut, managing chronic bowel conditions.
  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea: It replenishes the friendly bacteria in your digestive tract that are often wiped out by antibiotic medications.

Key Benefits

When taken consistently as directed, this supplement may provide the following physiological benefits:

  • Reduces digestive discomfort: May help relieve the daily burden of bloating, gas, abdominal cramps, and irregular bowel habits.
  • Supports gut recovery: Helps restore normal bowel function quickly during or after a course of strong antibiotics.
  • Supports long-term urinary health: Although research is still developing, it may help lower urinary oxalate levels over time, protecting kidney function and reducing the frequency of discomfort in susceptible individuals.

Directions for Use

  • Take Oxalo Capsule with or without food as advised by the doctor.
  • It is to be taken once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor.
  • Swallow Oxalo Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not crush, chew, or break it.

How Oxalo Capsule Works

Oxalo Capsule contains a combination of probiotics: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Oxalobacter formigenes and Lactobacillus sporogenes. The probiotics possess oxalate-degrading mechanisms, which help in breaking down deposits of oxalate crystals in the kidney/urinary tract, thereby effectively preventing or treating kidney stones.

What if I have taken an overdose of Oxalo Capsule

While an overdose of probiotics is unlikely to cause severe harm, taking too much may lead to intense bloating, gas, or diarrhoea; seek medical attention if you experience severe symptoms.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Limit high-oxalate foods: Reduce your dietary intake of foods rich in oxalates, such as spinach, rhubarb, nuts, beets, and chocolate. This acts as an additional step your doctor may recommend alongside the supplement to actively support it in preventing kidney stones.
  • Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, ideally 2 to 3 litres. This helps flush out your kidneys and dilute your urine to naturally prevent stone formation.
  • Consume adequate dietary calcium: Eat calcium-rich foods during your meals. Calcium naturally binds to oxalate in your stomach and intestines before it can reach your kidneys.
  • Eat fibre-rich foods: Incorporate whole grains and vegetables into your meals. These foods provide natural nourishment for the friendly bacteria in your gut.
