Frequently asked questions
Does it have any side effects?
No. Citrafitina® is made from plant extracts such as phytate and natural ingredients such as potassium citrate, which is recommended by the European Association of Urology Guidelines. It is suitable for vegans and people with celiac disease (gluten-free), lactose intolerance, and diabetes, as it contains no sugar. No side effects have been reported, and no interactions with medications have been observed.
Can I take it together with antibiotic treatment?
Yes, it can be combined with antibiotic treatment to enhance its effectiveness. The recommended dosage in cases of acute infection is 1 tablet every 8 hours for 5 days alongside the antibiotic.
Which antibiotics work best with Citrafitina®?
It works best with alkalophilic antibiotics, which are those that are more effective at a higher urinary pH (pH > 6).
Does it work without antibiotics?
Absolutely. Citrafitina® creates a more hostile environment for certain bacteria and also helps relieve urinary symptoms such as urgency, pain, and burning sensations.
Why is it recommended to take the tablets at night?
During the night, the body produces less urine and the frequency of urination decreases, allowing Citrafitina®’s active ingredients to remain in the bladder for a longer period. This promotes greater contact with the urinary mucosa to help relieve symptoms, improves the effectiveness of potassium citrate in maintaining an elevated urinary pH for longer, and enhances the action of phytate in hindering bacterial growth while the body rests.
Is it dangerous to take Citrafitina® for a long period of time?
Not at all. You can take 1 Citrafitina® tablet daily on a long-term basis. It is recommended to take it at night.
