Cymalon Sachets 4 gm - Pack of 6

Product Information

When there is an infection in the urinary tract, the bacteria in the bladder create an acidic environment that helps them to grow and multiply rapidly. As a result, the urine becomes more acidic, making it very painful to pass urine.

If your symptoms recur within two weeks, you should make an appointment to see your doctor for further advice. Although it has been said that drinking lots of water may be helpful, there is little evidence for this. Some doctors feel that it does not help and drinking lots may just cause more painful toilet trips. You should follow the directions on the label for taking the sachets mixed into water but other than this, drinking normal amounts of fluid is often sufficient. The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the drug's manufacturer.

Typical symptoms are pain when you pass urine and passing urine more frequently. Your urine may also become cloudy and smelly. It is particularly common in women. A short course of antibiotics may be prescribed for you, although mild cases often improve on their own without the need for any treatment as your own immune system can often clear the infection.
