Ural Effervescent Granules 4g Sachet x 28's is an Australian-made urinary alkaliniser formulated to relieve the painful burning and stinging symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) by raising the pH of urine. Manufactured by Abbott, each lemon-flavoured sachet dissolves in cold water to deliver fast symptomatic relief from cystitis, dysuria, and urinary discomfort. Available at MedX Pharmacy across the UAE with fast, reliable delivery, Ural is a trusted OTC option for adults managing mild UTI symptoms without needing an immediate GP visit.
How It Works
Ural works by reducing the acidity of urine. When dissolved in water, the effervescent granules create an alkaline solution that raises urinary pH, making urine less irritating to the inflamed bladder lining. This provides meaningful relief from the burning, stinging, and urgency associated with cystitis and mild urinary tract infections. Ural is a symptomatic treatment - it does not kill bacteria, but it significantly eases discomfort while the immune system or prescribed antibiotic therapy addresses the root cause. It also enhances the action of certain antibiotics such as norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin by optimising the urinary environment.
Important Information
Ural Effervescent Granules are indicated for three clinical applications: symptomatic relief of urinary tract infections and dysuria (painful urination); gout therapy to prevent crystallisation of urates and help reduce uric acid levels; and kidney stone prevention by raising urinary pH to inhibit calcium oxalate stone formation. Patients on sodium-restricted diets, and those with kidney disease, heart disease, or high blood pressure should consult a healthcare provider before use. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently taking other medications, particularly quinolone antibiotics. Store at room temperature, away from light, heat, and moisture. Made in Australia.

Dissolve 1 to 2 sachets in a full glass of cold water (approximately 200 mL) and drink immediately while still effervescent. Adults and children aged 12 years and over may take the solution up to 4 times daily for a maximum of 5 days. Do not exceed this duration without medical supervision. Consult your healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve within 48 hours, or seek medical attention immediately if you experience fever, back pain, or blood in urine, as these may indicate a more serious kidney infection requiring antibiotic therapy.
