Effercitrate Tablets

About Effercitrate Tablets

Effercitrate tablets are an over-the-counter symptomatic treatment designed to relieve the discomfort associated with cystitis, a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) characterised by bladder inflammation. Each tablet dissolves in water to create a solution containing key alkalising ingredients that help to make urine less acidic, easing irritation and burning when passing urine.

Effercitrate is suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and over and is an accessible option for managing mild cystitis symptoms without a prescription.
