Disodium Hydrogen Citrate is a urinary alkalinizer.
It works by making the urine less acidic (increasing pH), which helps reduce burning pain while urinating and prevents the growth of certain types of kidney stones.
It also helps in flushing out uric acid from the body.
Doctors may prescribe it for:
Burning sensation during urination (urinary tract infection – UTI).
Painful urination due to high urine acidity.
Prevention and treatment of uric acid or kidney stones.
Acidosis (too much acid in the body) in some cases.
