Citro Soda Powder Sachet lemon

Description Citro Soda Lemon 5g sachets are an effervescent powder that acts as a urinary alkalinizer and antacid. It mixes citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, and tartaric acid to neutralize excess acid in the stomach or urine, raising pH levels for relief. This fizzing formula dissolves quickly in water, providing fast comfort from indigestion or urinary discomfort. In Pakistan, it’s commonly used for short-term acid relief and long-term urine alkalization under medical guidance.

Doctor’s Review Dr. Rabeya Tufail, MBBS from Ziauddin University and Managing Editor at CureCartDirect, states: “Citro Soda Lemon 5g sachets work well for alkalinizing urine in UTIs or gout, and they provide quick relief from indigestion. The effervescent mix neutralizes acids effectively, but patients should stick to recommended doses to avoid sodium overload.”

Dosage Follow your doctor’s advice, usually one sachet dissolved in a glass of water, two to three times daily after meals. Stir until fizzing stops, then drink. Adjust based on urine pH or symptoms, but don’t exceed four sachets daily without guidance.

In Case of Overdose Too much can lead to nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, or electrolyte imbalances from high sodium. Seek immediate medical care in Pakistan if overdose occurs—contact a doctor or poison control for steps like hydration or monitoring.

Missed Dose If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it’s near the next one—then skip and resume normally. Don’t double up to prevent stomach issues.

How to Use Empty one sachet into a glass of water, stir until fizzing ends, and drink right away. Best after meals for gastric relief or as directed for urine issues. Use fresh each time.
