What is MOKO Mist Pot Citrate?
MOKO Mist Pot Citrate, also known as Mistura Potassium Citrate, is an oral liquid medication manufactured by New Healthway Company Limited (MOKO). It is a urinary alkalinizer formulated to reduce the acidity of urine, providing rapid relief from urinary discomfort and promoting urinary health.
Key Uses of Mist Pot Citrate
This medication is widely used in Nigeria for:
- Relief from Burning Sensation: Effectively alleviates the "peppery" or burning sensation (dysuria) often felt during urination with mild urinary tract infections (UTIs) like cystitis.
- Management of Kidney Stones: Helps in the prevention and management of certain types of kidney stones (urinary bladder calculi) by making the urine less acidic.
- Acid-Base Balance: Used for patients with metabolic acidosis or renal tubular acidosis to help balance body acid levels.
How It Works
The active ingredients, Potassium Citrate and Citric Acid, work together to increase the pH of the urine. By neutralizing excess acid, it reduces irritation to the urinary tract, which helps stop the pain and prevents stone-forming minerals from crystallizing.
Dosage and Administration
MOKO Mist Pot Citrate is an oral liquid mixture (Mistura). It should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist.
- How to use: It is generally recommended to dilute the liquid with a glass of water to improve taste and reduce stomach upset.
- Consistency: Ensure you complete the recommended course for the best results.
Note: While Mist Pot Citrate provides symptomatic relief for "peppery urine," it is not an antibiotic. If you have a bacterial infection, you may still require antibiotics. Consult a GoMed pharmacist for advice.
