Utiva Symptom Relief, 4000mg Sodium Citrate Sachets, Relieves Burning and Stinging Associated with Cystitis, Peach Flavour, 6 Powder Sachets

Utiva Symptom Relief Details

Single-dose sachets containing 4000mg of sodium citrate, dissolved in a glass of water, for symptomatic relief of the burning and stinging associated with cystitis in adult women. Six sachets, peach flavoured.

This is the point to be clear about: it relieves symptoms, it does not treat the infection. 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.

The course is deliberately short: one sachet dissolved in water, three times daily, for two days. Six sachets is exactly that course. Do not exceed three sachets in a day. 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.

It also interacts with medication. ACE inhibitors, diuretics and cyclosporine are specifically named, so tell your doctor if you take any of them.

The peach flavour and turmeric colouring are there to make 4000mg of citrate salt drinkable, which is not a trivial problem.

Who Utiva Symptom Relief Is For

This 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.

Seek 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. Speak to your doctor first if you have heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, or take ACE inhibitors, diuretics or cyclosporine. Use caution in the elderly. Not for use in men or children.
