Alkalises urine, protects the kidneys from stones
VTO-B6 is a urinary alkaliser. When urine is too acidic, tiny stones can form more easily. This syrup neutralises the acid, making the urine gentler on the kidneys and reducing the chance of new stones forming.
It also relieves the burning sensation of urinary tract infections and is sugar-free.

- Take it after meals, diluted in water, to be gentle on the stomach.
- In pregnancy and breastfeeding, use only if your doctor advises.
- Follow the urine-pH targets or tests your doctor sets, rather than guessing the dose.
