ALKANOL is
an oral syrup containing Disodium Hydrogen Citrate.
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate is a systemic and urinary alkalinizing agent
used in selected clinical situations where increasing urinary pH is
appropriate. Use should follow the current approved product label and
healthcare professional guidance.
After absorption and metabolism,
citrate contributes an alkalinizing effect that can increase urinary pH.
This may be useful in selected urinary conditions, but the appropriate
indication, dose and duration depend on the patient's clinical status. The
supplied brief does not provide the strength or a per-volume basis, so the
exact concentration per measured dose must be verified from the approved
product label.
Each labelled dose contains:
·
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate - as per approved
product specification
·
Syrup base / excipients - q.s.
·
The supplied brief does not provide the
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate strength or a per-volume basis; exact concentration
per ml/measured dose must be verified from the approved product label.
Dosage form: Oral Syrup
Uses of ALKANOL

be used as a urinary alkalinizing preparation in selected conditions where
increasing urinary pH is clinically appropriate, according to the approved
label and professional guidance.
·
Helps increase urinary pH through an
alkalinizing effect
·
May be used as supportive therapy in selected
conditions associated with acidic urine where specifically indicated
·
May be used in certain urinary-stone

make alkalinization appropriate
·

selected urinary symptoms or metabolic conditions under professional
supervision
How
ALKANOL
Works
ALKANOL provides
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate, an alkalinizing citrate salt:
Citrate
is metabolized to bicarbonate equivalents, contributing to systemic and urinary
alkalinization.
Increasing
urinary pH can alter the urinary environment and may be therapeutically useful
in selected conditions.
Urinary alkalinization is not suitable for every urinary disorder or
every type of stone; diagnosis and monitoring are important.
Urine
pH, electrolytes or other laboratory parameters may require monitoring when
clinically indicated, especially with prolonged therapy.
Dosage
and Direction for Use
Use ALKANOL according to the approved product label or
healthcare professional's advice. The supplied brief does not state the
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate strength or serving volume, so no per-ml or per-5-ml
dose has been inferred.
Measure
the recommended quantity accurately with a calibrated measuring cup, spoon or
oral syringe as appropriate.
Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration. Patients with kidney,
heart or electrolyte disorders require individualized professional guidance.
Possible
Side Effects
Possible
adverse effects of citrate alkalinizing preparations may include:
·
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea
·
Increased sodium intake may be clinically relevant in susceptible
patients
·
Excessive alkalinization can disturb acid-base or electrolyte balance
·
Fluid retention or worsening of edema may occur in sodium-sensitive
patients depending on total sodium exposure
Any persistent or troublesome adverse effect should be discussed with a
healthcare professional.
Precautions
and Contraindications
·
Review the complete approved label before use, particularly in patients
with kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, edema or disorders of
acid-base/electrolyte balance.
·
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to Disodium Hydrogen
Citrate or any formulation excipient.
·
Because the product contains a sodium citrate salt, total sodium
exposure should be considered in patients requiring sodium restriction.
·
Patients with impaired renal function may be at increased risk of
electrolyte or acid-base disturbances and require professional assessment.
·
Urinary alkalinization should not be used indiscriminately for urinary
tract symptoms or stones without considering the underlying diagnosis and stone
type.
·
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infants, children and patients with
significant chronic illness require individualized professional guidance.
·
Check sweeteners, flavours, preservatives and sodium content on the
final approved label.
·
Drug Interaction Considerations
·
Changing urinary pH can alter the renal elimination of some medicines.
Sodium-containing alkalinizing therapy may also be relevant to medicines or
conditions affected by sodium/fluid balance. Review the complete medication
list and current product-specific interaction guidance.
