Arilizar Syrup (Disodium Hydrogen Citrate)

Arilizar Syrup (Disodium Hydrogen Citrate) is a urinary alkalizer that treats kidney stones, gout, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) by making the urine less acidic. It works by increasing urinary pH, which prevents uric acid buildup and helps dissolve existing crystals. Core Composition Active Ingredient: Disodium Hydrogen Citrate (typically 1.37g per 5mL). Drug Class: Urinary Alkalizer. Common Manufacturers: Commonly produced by Aristo Pharmaceuticals. Primary Uses Kidney Stones: Helps dissolve existing uric acid or cystine kidney stones and prevents the formation of new ones. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Alleviates the painful burning sensation (dysuria) during urination by neutralizing highly acidic urine. Gout: Lowers overall uric acid levels by increasing its excretion through urine, which stops crystals from building up in the joints. Renal Tubular Acidosis: Treats conditions where the kidneys fail to properly excrete acids from the bloodstream. How It Works Metabolic Conversion: Once consumed, disodium hydrogen citrate is metabolized into bicarbonate ions within the body. pH Elevation: The excretion of free bicarbonate ions increases the pH level of your urine, making it more alkaline (less acidic). Solubility Boost: Uric acid is ionized into a soluble urate form, and cystine solubility increases, preventing them from solidifying into stones or crystals. Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Arilizar if you are pregnant or lactating. Pre-existing Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease, high sodium levels, or heart failure. Drug Interactions: Use caution and inform your doctor if you are taking other medications, particularly corticosteroids, as they can cause fluid or sodium retention.
