Each 5 ml oral clear solution contains Potassium Citrate BP 1500 mg and Citric Acid Monohydrate BP 250 mg.
For the symptomatic relief of dysuria associated with mild urinary tract infections, especially cystitis.
Adults including the elderly and children over 6 years:
CITROSOL 10 ml solution three times daily. CITROSOL Oral solution should be taken diluted with one glassful of water (250 ml) followed by additional water, if desired.

Or as Directed by the Physician.:
Concurrent administration of Potassium containing or sparing medications may lead to hyperkalaemia. May interact with cardiac glycosides. Citrates alkalize the urine and thus may alter the urinary excretion of a number of drugs. Particularly noteworthy is the diminished anti-bacterial activity of nitrofurantoin.
Overdose:
Over dosage is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and symptoms due to hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis. Fluid and electrolyte balance together with ECG should be closely monitored. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Moderate to severe hyperkalemia is a medical emergency requiring prompt correction.
There are no adequate data from the use of CITROSOL oral solution in pregnant women. Animal studies are insufficient with respect to effects on pregnancy. The potential risk to humans is unknown. CITROSOL oral solution should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary and on the advice of a physician.
CITROSOL oral solution provides symptomatic relief only and is not an anti-bacterial. Effective anti-bacterial therapy should be co-prescribed. It should be used with caution when renal or cardiac dysfunction is present. Citrate mobilizes calcium from bones and increases its urinary excretion. This together with raised urinary pH may predispose to formation of stones in the urinary tract.
Store in a cool and dry place, protected from light. Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
