Six sachets, peach flavoured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is the point to be clear about: it relieves symptoms, it does not treat the infection.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium citrate works by making the urine more alkaline, which reduces the stinging as urine passes over inflamed tissue. It does nothing to the bacteria causing the problem. It buys comfort while you get proper treatment — it is not a substitute for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe course is deliberately short: one sachet dissolved in water, three times daily, for two days. Six sachets is exactly that course. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not exceed three sachets in a day.\u003c\/strong\u003e The reason for the ceiling is sodium — 4000mg of sodium citrate three times daily is a substantial sodium load, which is why heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes all warrant a conversation with your doctor first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also interacts with medication. ACE inhibitors, diuretics and cyclosporine are specifically named, so tell your doctor if you take any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe peach flavour and turmeric colouring are there to make 4000mg of citrate salt drinkable, which is not a trivial problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtiva is a Canadian company focused on urinary and intimate health, built around clinically studied ingredients at studied doses rather than proprietary blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Utiva Symptom Relief Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis suits adult women with mild cystitis symptoms who want relief while arranging assessment or waiting for antibiotics to take hold. Keeping a pack on hand is reasonable if you get recurrent episodes and know the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeek medical assessment rather than self-treating if you have more than mild symptoms — painful urination, blood in the urine, fever, back or flank pain — or if symptoms do not settle within two days. An untreated urinary tract infection can reach the kidneys, and that is a serious illness.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpeak to your doctor first if you have heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, or take ACE inhibitors, diuretics or cyclosporine.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use caution in the elderly.
