Is It Safe To Take Alkasol When Diagnosed With UTI?
My mother(age 50) having UTI since last week. She feels pain in her abdomen & along the sides. Also has high temperature, burning sensation during urination & frequent urge to urinate. She has a small eruption in her urinary tract too. Is it advisable to take alkasol?
Hi and thanks for your query. I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother.
Yes, It is safe to be used for the treatment of UTI.
Alkasol alkalinize the urine (increases the pH of acidic urine) and thus reduces the burning sensation and frequent urge to urinate it also helps to flush the urinary tract.
Beside her urine should be examined for culture and sensitivity and based on that a suitable antibioitc like fluoroquinolone to be started.
Ask her to take plenty of oral fluids, Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) tablets for her high grade temperature.
Hope this answers your query. Rate this answer if you are convinced.
