Cymalon is an oral medication that is used to help increase the production of urine, as well as make it less acidic, to treat conditions such as cystitis, and some urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Cymalon’s active ingredients work to help relieve the symptoms of cystitis and urinary tract infections to provide people with relief. They increase the production of urine, ease the sensation of needing to urinate, and make the urine less acidic. This in turn relieves the sensations of cramping and burning associated with these conditions. 

To effectively manage and treat your condition it is recommended that you take the medication three times a day for 2 days (or 48 hours). The medication should be drunk immediately after reconstitution.

The correct dosage of Cymalon is whatever you have been told to take by your healthcare provider. Typically, you should take one sachet, mixed into water, three times a day for 2 days or 48 hours. If your condition persists after 48 you should speak to your doctor for further advice.
