Cystopurin (Potassium Citrate) 3g Granules for oral solution 6 sachets

Description

Cystitis, the inflammation of the bladder is a common urinary tract infection (UTI), especially in women (occur in 4 out of 5 women at least once in their lifetime). It usually will clear up on its own within about 3 days. It can happen in men and children, but this is rare and more serious and requires medical advice.

Symptoms of cystitis are:

• A sharp stinging sensation on passing water
• An urge to pass water more frequently
• Urine that's dark, cloudy or strong smelling
• Pain low down in your tummy
• Feeling generally unwell, achy, sick and tired

There are two types

• Bacterial cystitis occurs due to bacteria that reach the bladder from the bowel. This could happen during sexual intercourse or be due to ineffective or infrequent hygiene
• Non-bacterial cystitis can be due to several triggers including certain soaps, deodorants, insufficient water-based liquid intake, or even tight trousers

Browns tips to avoid cystitis:

• Drink plenty of fluids every day
• Take care of your personal hygiene. It can help if you and your partner wash carefully before and after sexual intercourse
• Always go to the toilet as soon as you feel the need to pass water. Keeping your bladder flushed will help it work normally
• Try to avoid washing with perfumed soaps or using deodorants or perfumes around the vaginal area

Cystopurin relieves symptoms of cystitis. Potassium citrate, the active ingredient, reduces the acidity of your urine, helping ease the discomfort caused by urine.
