Himalaya Cystone

Himalaya Cystone is a proprietary Ayurvedic formulation designed to support urinary tract and kidney health. Blending centuries-old herbal wisdom with modern manufacturing, Cystone targets common urological complaints such as kidney stones and urinary infections using a multi-herb approach.

Cystone is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic pharmacology, utilizing herbs known for their Mutravirechana (diuretic), Shothahara (anti-inflammatory), and Ashmarihara (anti-urolithic) properties. It aligns with holistic principles that emphasize systemic detoxification and urinary tract balance.

This formulation is primarily used for:

• Managing and preventing kidney stones (nephrolithiasis)
• Treating and reducing the recurrence of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Soothing urinary tract inflammation and relieving crystalluria

Cystone is available in two primary forms:

• Tablets: Preferred for long-term and adult use, offering standardized dosage
• Syrup: Designed for pediatric or elderly patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets

Both formulations contain the same active herbs but differ in convenience and palatability.

Cystone's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory herbs help reduce bacterial growth in the urinary tract, preventing infection recurrence and promoting comfort.

By inhibiting the aggregation of mineral crystals and increasing urinary flow, Cystone aids in dissolving small stones and preventing the formation of new ones.

Its soothing, demulcent herbs help minimize urinary irritation and alleviate discomfort associated with crystalluria and gravel-like deposits.

Due to its urinary tract soothing effects, Cystone is occasionally used to reduce urinary symptoms in mild to moderate Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia cases.

The formula's diuretic action may support uric acid elimination, offering a complementary role in managing gout symptoms.

By enhancing urinary hygiene and immunity, Cystone helps prevent recurring bladder infections often experienced by women.

Cystone is incorporated into holistic detox programs, promoting renal cleansing and urinary system equilibrium.

The herbs in Cystone function in synergy to promote urine flow, reduce microbial presence, and dissolve calculi, enhancing renal filtration and protection.

Cystone interferes with the mucin binding of crystals, preventing stone nucleation and promoting their disintegration and elimination through urine.

Herbs like Rubia cordifolia exhibit potent anti-inflammatory activity, reducing burning sensations and urinary urgency.

By relaxing the smooth muscle of the urinary tract, Cystone eases the passage of small stones and reduces spasmodic pain.

• Didymocarpus pedicellata: Renowned for its litholytic and nephroprotective activity
• Saxifraga ligulata: Helps in the disintegration and expulsion of kidney stones
• Rubia cordifolia: Offers anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits

Other ingredients include Cyperus and Achyranthes, which collectively enhance diuresis, reduce urinary stasis, and combat infection.

The formulation leverages multi-targeted phytotherapeutics, combining individual effects into a comprehensive renal wellness strategy.

• For prevention: 2 tablets twice daily
• For treatment: 2 tablets three times daily

Duration may range from 4 weeks for infections to several months for stone dissolution.

• Renal-impaired patients should use under medical supervision
• May be co-administered with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for synergistic effect

• Best taken after meals for improved gastrointestinal tolerance
• Ensure high fluid intake throughout the day to aid excretion
• Syrup: Shake well before use and measure with the provided spoon

While generally well tolerated, some users may experience:

• Mild gastrointestinal issues like nausea or bloating
• Occasional skin rash or itching in sensitive individuals

• Taking the medication after meals can reduce stomach upset
• Discontinue use and consult a physician if allergic reactions occur

• May enhance the effect of diuretics, requiring dose adjustments
• Possible additive action with antibiotics during UTI treatment
• Monitor when used with urinary alkalinizers or medications for prostate issues

• Individuals with known allergy to any herbal component
• Patients with urinary tract obstructions needing surgical intervention

• Not recommended in cases of severe renal failure or anuria
• Use cautiously in patients with hematuria of unknown cause or suspected malignancy

While Himalaya Cystone is a natural herbal formulation, it is essential to undergo a proper medical evaluation before starting the supplement. Conditions such as kidney stones, urinary infections, or obstructive uropathy can mimic other serious disorders. Accurate diagnosis helps ensure appropriate treatment and prevents masking of underlying pathology.

For individuals using Cystone for an extended period, especially in chronic stone formers or recurrent UTI cases, it is advisable to monitor renal function periodically. This includes serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and urinalysis to ensure kidney function is not compromised.

Cystone is not a substitute for antibiotics in severe or systemic infections. Individuals with fever, chills, or flank pain should avoid self-treatment and seek prompt medical care. Likewise, acute colicky pain from a large obstructive stone may require urgent urological intervention, not herbal support alone.

Elderly patients often present with multiple health issues and are on polypharmacy regimens. Careful review of existing medications is crucial to avoid potential herb-drug interactions. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on hepatic and renal reserve.

Due to age-related decline in renal function, periodic kidney function tests should be conducted in elderly users. This ensures safety, especially when Cystone is taken continuously over several months.

Limited clinical data are available regarding the use of Cystone during pregnancy. Though traditionally considered safe, it is prudent to consult an obstetrician before initiating therapy to avoid inadvertent risks to the fetus.

There is insufficient evidence on the excretion of Cystone's herbal constituents into breast milk. Hence, its use in lactating women should be supervised by a healthcare provider, particularly when the infant has renal immaturity or low birth weight.

Cystone syrup may be administered to children over the age of two, under pediatric supervision. The tablet form is generally reserved for older children and adolescents who can safely swallow pills.

In pediatric patients with recurring UTIs, Cystone syrup may be given for supportive care. Dosage should be based on age and weight, and treatment duration should not exceed the physician-recommended timeframe to avoid dependency or delayed diagnosis of structural anomalies.

Although herbal products like Cystone have a high safety margin, consuming significantly above the recommended dose may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or mild electrolyte imbalance due to diuretic effects.

In case of overdose, discontinue use immediately. Provide adequate hydration and seek medical consultation. Activated charcoal is typically not required, but symptomatic management may be necessary in sensitive individuals.

To maintain the integrity and efficacy of Cystone:

• Store at room temperature between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)
• Keep the product in its original packaging, tightly closed
• Avoid exposing the container to direct sunlight, heat, or excessive humidity

• Always check the expiration date before use
• Do not use tablets or syrup if the packaging is damaged or discolored
• Dispose of expired or unused medication in accordance with local pharmaceutical disposal guidelines to avoid contamination
