Both Urosolvine and Urifin are used to relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infections and facilitate the passage of small stones or sand from the kidneys and ureters. Although they aim to achieve the same goal, they contain different active ingredients that work by different mechanisms.
Urosolvine Effervescent Ingredients
Urosolvine Effervescent typically contains an alkaline formula that alters the pH of urine, helping dissolve certain types of kidney stones and reduce their formation. These ingredients may include:
Sodium Bicarbonate: Alkalines the urine.
Sodium Citrate: Converts to bicarbonate in the body and increases urine alkalinity.
Sodium Tartrate: Also contributes to increasing urine alkalinity.
Urivin Effervescent Ingredients
Effervescent Urivin typically contains a formula that relieves urinary tract spasms and facilitates urine flow, in addition to having mild antiseptic properties. These ingredients may include:
Piperazine Citrate: Helps dissolve uric acid stones and reduce their formation.
Hexamine: Converts to formaldehyde in acidic urine, which has a weak antiseptic effect on the urinary tract.
Sodium Citrate: Contributes to increasing urine alkalinity, which may help prevent the formation of some types of stones and reduce urinary tract irritation.
