Cymalon Cystitis Treatment Sachets Pack of 6

Description

Cymalon is used to relieve the symptoms of cystitis.

• It can be taken by adult females only.
• Dissolve the granules in water before swallowing.

Cymalon sachets contain granules to dissolve in water. They treat the symptoms of cystitis in women. Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder which may be caused by an infection. This causes stinging and burning pain when you pass water. The ingredients in Cymalon make the urine less acid and help reduce the stinging and burning sensation.
