Cymalon Sachets 4 gm - Pack of 6

Product Information

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, which is often caused by infection of the bladder with bacteria. Cystitis is usually accompanied by the desire to pass urine frequently and a burning pain on passing urine. Drink lots.Plenty of fluids will flush out your bladder frequently, and cut out caffeine and alcohol, which can make you dehydrated. Drinking cranberry juice has traditionally been used to help reduce your chance of getting cystitis.

Although it has been said that drinking lots of water may be helpful, there is little evidence for this. Some doctors feel that it does not help and drinking lots may just cause more painful toilet trips. You should follow the directions on the label for taking the sachets mixed into water but other than this, drinking normal amounts of fluid is often sufficient. Cymalon sachets contain the active ingredient sodium citrate. They are used to relieve the symptoms of cystitis. When there is an infection in the urinary tract, the bacteria in the bladder create an acidic environment that helps them to grow and multiply rapidly. As a result, the urine becomes more acidic, making it very painful to pass urine.
