Sodium Citrate Pharmacological Information
Medication Information: Cystitis is the same as inflammation of the bladder. Inflammation of the bladder is often caused by a urinary tract infection. The symptoms and pain of the disease increase when urinating. Your urine may smell bad. This disease is especially common in women. You may be prescribed a short course of antibiotics, although often, in mild cases, the infection will be treated spontaneously by the immune system without the need for treatment. Sodium citrate medications are prescribed to treat mild bladder inflammation. They can help reduce the pain and discomfort of bladder inflammation. Sodium citrate works by reducing the acidity of urine. You can buy this medicine without a prescription from pharmacies.
Note: If you are pregnant and think your bladder inflammation needs to be treated with antibiotics, be sure to see your doctor.
