Question over 5 years ago
Does Alkasol cure Urinary tract infections?

It belongs to the class of drugs known as alkalinizing agents but it may decrease counts of bacteria as well as improve symptoms in case of infection. It is mainly used for the treatment of gout (a type of arthritis that occurs due to the formation and deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints).

Question about 6 years ago
How does Alkasol work?
Dr. Sangita Shah MBBS , General Physician
Alkasol contains disodium Hydrogen Citrate (an alkalinizing agent) which is metabolized into bicarbonate. Bicarbonate causes an increase in pH of urine (alkalinizes urine) by promoting the excretion of free bicarbonate ions, this leads to increase in solubility of cysteine which is present in the urine and this results in ionization of uric acid into more soluble urate ion. In this way Alkasol works and helps the body to get rid of excessive uric acid.
