Composition

Citric Acid (334 Mg) + Potassium (1100 Mg)

Potrate-SF Syrup is primarily utilised to prevent and manage kidney stones and gout. This oral solution is a combination medicine, belonging to the class of urinary alkalinisers.

In addition to its main use, this syrup is also beneficial in alkalinising urine for patients with certain inherited metabolic disorders. It's used to manage renal tubular acidosis, a condition where the kidneys fail to adequately remove acids from the blood into the urine. Furthermore, it can correct hypokalaemia, a condition characterised by low blood potassium levels.

Regarding dosage and frequency, it is crucial that you consult your doctor, as these parameters will be tailored according to your specific health needs. Before starting on this syrup, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. In case of any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor right away. For optimal results, continue taking the syrup for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects of Potrate Sf Solution 200ml

Potrate-SF Syrup may cause side effects, including:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea
Abdominal discomfort or pain
Flatulence: This is a term for excessive wind or gas in the stomach or intestines, which may result in a feeling of bloating or frequent belching.
Hyperkalaemia: This refers to an elevated level of potassium in the blood, which is infrequent but can be serious.
Metabolic alkalosis: This is an imbalance in the body's acid/base balance, leading to too much bicarbonate in the blood.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Potrate-SF Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips on how to manage common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Potrate-SF Syrup after meals to lessen the feeling of sickness.
Diarrhoea: Ensure you stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Potrate-SF Syrup contains two active ingredients:

Potassium (1100 mg): This vital mineral helps correct hypokalaemia, a condition characterised by low blood potassium levels.
Citric Acid (334 mg): This component reacts with hydrogen ions in the body to form bicarbonate, which raises urinary pH levels. The resulting alkaline urine prevents the formation of uric acid and cystine kidney stones. It also reduces the supersaturation of calcium oxalate and inhibits the crystallisation of stone-forming minerals. Furthermore, citric acid directly prevents calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stone formation by forming soluble complexes with calcium.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Potrate-SF Syrup if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

The safety of Potrate-SF Syrup for nursing mothers is unknown. Hence, it's advised to either avoid breastfeeding or not take the medicine. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.
