About Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup

Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup belongs to the class of medications called ‘Alkalinizing agents’ used to prevent gout, kidney stones, and treat metabolic acidosis in patients with kidney diseases. Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid crystals are deposited in the joints leading to severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints. A kidney stone is a condition in which hard deposits are accumulated in the kidney forming stones. Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which excess acid is accumulated in the body due to kidney failure.

Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Citric acid and Sodium citrate. Citric acid prevents the formation of deposits by binding with the salts, and it also breaks down the small deposits that are beginning to form. Sodium citrate is metabolized to sodium bicarbonate in the body. It is alkaline in nature and works by neutralizing the acids in the blood and urine, thereby preventing the accumulation of salts in the body.

 You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup may cause side-effects such as diarrhoea, upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting. These side-effects are mild and temporary. However, inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup if you are allergic to Citric acid, Sodium citrate, or any other ingredients present in it. 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), and hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood). Before taking Dicitral Sugar Free Syrup , inform your doctor if you have hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attack history, oedema (fluid retention), urinary problems, or chronic diarrhoea. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
