How it works
Potrate-MB6 Oral Solution Orange is a combination of three medicines: Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) which prevent kidney stones. Potassium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate raise urine pH and prevents the formation, growth, and aggregation of crystals in the kidneys, thereby preventing stones. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is added as its deficiency is associated with increased synthesis of oxalate, which is one of the constituents of kidney stones.

You can also include citric acid-rich food in your diet like grapefruit, oranges, lemons, or limes to prevent kidney stones.
