Brief Answer:
Alkacitral doesn't affect Sperm count

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Alkacitral contains Disodium hydrogen citrate.It may cause Vomiting, Abdominal pain.But,it doesn't affect the Sperm quantity and quality of the semen.
Nothing to worry.
You better take it after dilution with water.
I prescribe 5ml of the Syrup in a glass of water to my patients with similar complaints.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further
Wish you good health
