Hello, My mother aged 56 yrs is was detected with chronic pyelonephritis in 2006 and we also came to know that she had a right side- small hypoplastic kidney. The Renal scan reveals: The split function of the right kidney is 22.5%and left is 77.5% while the GFR (ml/min) in right kidney is 9.693 and left is 33.4 , that is the total GFR is 43.1 which is much low than the normal range of 75- 120ml/mt. She is having painful and frequent urination and had fever last week which settled with cotrimoxazole (Septran) tablets and then the urologist prescribed levofloxacin 250mg once a day and she was fine but again yesterday night she had frequent and painful urination so i told her to take one more levofloxacin as we coudnt talk to the doctor at night. I wanted to know she can start taking CITRALKA SYRUP? Will it have side effects and whether she can take it or not.. Kindly Reply soon.
HiT hanks for the query. The syrup which you have mentioned is often used in patients with bladder infections and is usually quite safe. However, I am not sure whether it will be of much help in pyelonephritis. So you can try it but do not expect too many benefits. Hope this helps Good luck.
