Alkaston-B6 Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely: Magnesium citrate, Potassium citrate, and Pyridoxine. Alkaston-B6 Syrup is indicated for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, kidney stones, and prevents recurrence of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis (calcium oxalate stones) and uric acid lithiasis (uric acid stones) with or without calcium stones. It also helps provide relief from burning sensation during urination. Alkaston-B6 Syrup raises the urinary pH, potassium, magnesium and citric acid levels; this prevents the crystallisation, growth and accumulation of stone-forming salts.
