Oxalo Capsule is a combination of probiotics used in the treatment and prevention of kidney stones. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are healthy for the digestive tract as they help in restoring gut flora. Probiotics containing lactobacillus help in reducing urinary oxalate excretion considerably. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine.

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.

In some cases, Oxalo Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your healthcare professional if these side effects persist.

It is advisable to inform the healthcare professional if you are allergic to any of the components of Oxalo Capsule . Take Oxalo Capsule with caution if you have a history or are suffering from a weakened immune system, any intestinal blockages, recurrent urinary tract or vaginal infections. Exercise caution in case of phenylketonuria and diabetes. Consult your healthcare professional if you are planning to get pregnant, are already pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Oxalo Capsule is used to reduce and break down the crystal deposits of salts that cause kidney stones. Oxalo Capsule contains a combination of probiotics namely: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Oxalobacter formigenes and Lactobacillus sporogenes. Oxalate crystals are a common cause of kidney stones. These probiotics degrade any oxalate crystals that may have formed in the kidney. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis work by decreasing urinary oxalate excretion (hyperoxaluria), which in turn can predispose to the formation of kidney stones. Oxalobacter formigenes and Lactobacillus sporogenes work by activating oxalate decarboxylase, thereby degrading intestinal oxalate. Thus, Oxalo Capsule reduces urinary oxalate excretion, which is a huge risk factor for kidney stones.

• KETOCONAZOLE
• CLOTRIMAZOLE
• GRISEOFULVIN
• DEXAMETHASONE

• Drink plenty of fluids as they help in flushing out excess minerals.

• Limit salt intake. High amounts of salt can increase the risk of kidney stones.

• Maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly.

• Avoid foods rich in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, okra, dates, avocado, hot chocolate, cocoa, baked potato, french fries, and cereals as they might increase the risk of oxalate stones.

• Try maintaining optimum levels of calcium in the body as too little or high calcium can lead to kidney stones.

Kidney Stones: Nephrolithiasis, also known as kidney stones, is a disease affecting the urinary tract. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. They are the common cause of blood in urine and can be painful when passing through the urinary tract. Symptoms include severe pain, usually in one side of the abdomen and nausea.
