Stonil Oral Solution 200 ml

Stonil Oral Solution is used to reduce the acidity of the urine. This function aids in the kidneys' elimination of uric acid, which helps to prevent kidney stones and gout. Additionally, Stonil Oral Solution can be used to prevent and treat kidney disease-related metabolic issues such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

Stonil Oral Solution combines two medicines: Citric acid and Potassium citrate. Citric acid prevents the formation of deposits by binding with the salts and also breaks down the small deposits that are beginning to form. Potassium citrate is alkaline in nature and works by neutralizing the acids in the blood and urine, thereby preventing the accumulation of salts in the body.

Stonil Oral Solution is available in the form of oral liquid. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Stonil Oral Solution may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are mild and temporary. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worse.

To treat your condition, continue taking Stonil Oral Solution for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not take Stonil Oral Solution if you are allergic to Citric acid, potassium citrate, or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking the Stonil Oral Solution . It should not be used in patients with severe kidney failure, severe heart damage, severe dehydration, heat cramps, Addison’s disease (an adrenal gland disorder), or hyperkalemia (high blood potassium levels). Stonil Oral Solution should not be given to children unless prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Stonil Oral Solution as it might increase certain side-effects. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Stonil Oral Solution is a combination of two medicines: Citric acid and Potassium citrate,  primarily used to prevent gout and kidney stones and treat metabolic acidosis in patients with kidney diseases. Citric acid prevents the formation of deposits by binding with the salts and also breaks down the small deposits that are beginning to form. Potassium citrate is alkaline in nature and works by neutralizing the acids in the blood and urine. Stonil Oral Solution effectively reduces the crystallization of stone-forming salts such as calcium oxalate (in kidney stones) and uric acid (in gout).

Gout: Gout is a type of arthritis in which patients experience severe pain, redness, and swelling in joints. The most common affected area is the joint at the base of the big toe. Patients with gout may often experience acute attacks that result in sudden and severe pain. It occurs due to a condition called hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels in the body). The excess uric acid deposit and crystallize in the joints leading to pain and inflammation.

Kidney stones: It is a condition in which hard deposits occur in the kidney leading to stones. A kidney stone comprises mainly four types of calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine. It is due to the increased level of uric acid in the body. As a result, uric acid crystals start depositing in the kidney, known as renal calculi/nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis.

Metabolic acidosis: Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which excess acid is accumulated in the body due to the kidney's inability to remove excess acid from the body. It can be of various types, such as lactic acidosis (build-up of lactic acid), diabetic acidosis (build-up of ketone bodies), and hyperchloremic acidosis (build-up of sodium bicarbonate). It is mostly seen in patients with kidney impairment.
