Cystitis is a common problem and most women experience the symptoms of cystitis many times. One of the symptoms of cystitis is a painful, burning sensation when passing urine. A bacterial infection in the bladder causes the urine to become more acidic, which makes urination painful. Liquids and sachets for cystitis ease the symptoms of this painful problem by making the urine less acidic.
The active ingredient in cystitis liquids and sachets is potassium citrate. Taking three sachets in water over a 48-hour period typically relieves the symptoms and gives your body’s immune system a chance to clear the infection. If your symptoms don’t resolve or you are passing blood, seek medical advice.
