D-mannose is used for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and treating carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, an inherited metabolic disorder.

D-mannose (or mannose) is a type of sugar found in a number of fruits and vegetables. It's also produced in the body from glucose, another form of sugar.

Major & minor side effects for D- mannose

• Bloating
• Loose stool
• Diarrhea
• Kidney impair

Some research suggests that D-mannose might make blood sugar control more difficult in people with diabetes.

Children shouldn't take D-mannose as well.

Self-treating a UTI with D-mannose, or avoiding or delaying standard care, is unadvised as it can lead to serious complications, including a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and even permanent kidney damage.

• Cranberry Extract is herbal medicine, which interferes with the bacteria's capacity to stick to the bladder wall, reducing the likelihood of infection. The acidic nature of
• Cranberry Extract is believed to interfere with unwanted bacteria in the urinary tract and thus prevent the infection.

• Some evidence exists for the use of cranberry in preventing, but not treating, urinary tract infections (UTIs).
• Cranberry, can also be used as reduction of the risk of cardiovascular disease.

• Predisposition to or history of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones); known allergy to cranberry products.
• The berries and juice have few adverse reactions associated with their consumption.
• Large daily doses may produce GI symptoms, such as diarrhea.

Potassium magnesium citrate has being proven to be an effective prophylaxis against recurrent calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Liquid potassium magnesium citrate has being studied in clinical trial for controlling Hypertension. Provision of alkali as potassium-magnesium citrate is an effective countermeasure for the increased risk of renal stone disease associated with immobilization. Despite an increase in urine calcium concentration, the relative saturation of calcium oxalate decreased due to citrate chelation of calcium and the concentration of undissociated uric acid decreased due to the significant increase in urine pH. Potassium magnesium citrate is a nutritional supplement that fights kidney stones in three different ways. The potassium provided by the supplement raises the pH of the urine, making it more alkaline, thus reducing the amount of calcium that the urine can dissolve. When there is less calcium in the urine, fewer calcium kidney stones can form. The magnesium in the supplement reduces the amount of calcium the kidneys pump out of the body and into the urine. And the citrate inthe supplement keeps oxalates dissolved in the urine so they are flushed awaybefore they can form kidney stones.

This medication is used to make the urine less acidic. This effect helps the kidneys get rid of uric acid, thereby helping to prevent gout and kidney stones. This medication can also prevent and treat certain metabolic problems (acidosis) caused by kidney disease. Citric acid and citrate salts (which contain potassium and sodium) belong to a class of drugs known as urinary alkalinizers. If you have a condition that requires you to limit your intake of potassium and sodium, your doctor may direct you to take a product that is lower in potassium and sodium.
 

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain may occur. Taking it after meals will help prevent these side effects.

• This medication may cause high potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia). Tell your doctor right away if any of these serious side effects occur: muscle cramps/weakness, severe dizziness, slow/irregular heartbeat, mental/mood changes (e.g., confusion, restlessness), tingling of the hands/feet, unusually cold skin.
• A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
