Uricure Syrup is used to reduce the acidity of the urine. This function aids in the kidney's elimination of uric acid, which helps to prevent kidney stones and gout. Additionally, it can be used to prevent and treat kidney disease-related metabolic issues such as diabetic ketoacidosis. It contains Citric acid and Potassium citrate which prevents the formation of deposits by binding with the salts and also breaks down the small deposits that are beginning to form. Also, it neutralizes the acids in the blood and urine, thereby preventing the accumulation of salts in the body. It may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Uricure Syrup

Uricure Syrup 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, Uricure Syrup can be used to prevent and treat kidney disease-related metabolic issues such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

Uricure Syrup 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.

Uricure Syrup is available in the form of oral liquid. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Uricure Syrup 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 Uricure Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not take Uricure Syrup if you are allergic to Citric acid, potassium citrate, or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking the Uricure Syrup .
