Cystopurin Granules (3g) - At the first burning, stinging signs of cystitis, you need relief - fast. That’s where Cystopurin can help. Cystopurin is a low-sodium 48 hour treatment for the symptoms of cystitis. Each pack of Cystopurin contains 6 sachets, which mix with water to make cranberry flavoured drinks.
Cystopurin contains potassium citrate which works by counteracting the acidity of the urine. This relieves the intense stinging pain experienced by cystitis sufferers when passing water and reduces the urge to pass water so frequently. Beginning the Cystopurin treatment at the first signs of an attack will usually help you feel better within a few hours.
Who gets Cystitis?
Any woman can suffer from cystitis but some are more prone to this condition, for example:
Younger women (who may be prone to more sexual activity)
The elderly (who may be less mobile or have more difficulty emptying their bladder)
Pregnant women (whose body changes can make them prone to urinary infections)
Post-menopausal women (who may experience vaginal dryness causing soreness and irritation during sexual intercourse)
Men and children can get cystitis too, but this is much less common, and in such cases a doctor's advice must always be sought
What are the symptoms?
The common signs and symptoms of a cystitis attack are:
A sharp burning, stinging sensation when you pass water
An urge to pass water more frequently even though there may be very little to pass
A feeling of not emptying your bladder completely
Directions:
How to take Cystopurin Granules:
Adults and children aged 6 years and over: Empty the contents of one sachet into a small glass of cold water (200ml) and stir until the granules dissolve to give a pink, fruit flavoured drink.

Warnings:
Caution before taking Cystopurin Granules:
Not recommended for children under 6 years of age.
If symptoms persist for longer than the 48 hour treatment, you should consult your doctor.
