Overview
Alka-5 is an approved proprietary Ayurvedic herbal syrup developed and marketed by Charak Pharma. Formulated as a natural urinary alkalizer, it is designed to maintain normal urine pH balance and support urinary tract health. The product is a multi-ingredient formulation containing key herbal components such as Yavakshara (Hordeum vulgare ash), Shwetparpati, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Dhanyak (Coriandrum sativum), and Jeerak (Cuminum cyminum). It is indicated for the management of dysuria (painful or burning urination), urinary tract infections (UTIs), urethritis, cystitis, sunstroke, and urinary calculi (kidney stones). Alka-5 works by soothing burning urination, reducing inflammation and pain, exhibiting antibacterial activity, and facilitating the flushing of urinary calculi through its diuretic and lithotriptic properties.
