Brief Summary
|
BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTIONKidney stones (urolithiasis) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and often interlinked conditions. Kidney stones are mineral deposits in the urinary tract, causing symptoms like severe pain, dysuria, and burning micturition. UTIs, often caused by bacterial infections, lead to frequent urination, pain, and discomfort. Both conditions are prone to recurrence and present management challenges due to side effects and antimicrobial resistance. Ethniq Kidney Care is a proprietary Ayurvedic formulation designed for kidney stones and UTI management. It includes Uro Fizz Effervescent Tablets (twice daily for 45 days) and complementary Tea Bags, formulated to dissolve stones, promote expulsion, relieve symptoms, and prevent UTIs. Key ingredients include Punarnava, Pashaan Bhed, Gokhru, and Ayurvedic minerals, which provide diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and lithotriptic effects. This holistic approach aims to improve patient outcomes while minimizing the need for invasive treatments. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ethniq Kidney Care, a proprietary Ayurvedic formulation, in the management of kidney stones and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The study aims to assess its ability to dissolve kidney stones, promote their expulsion, relieve associated symptoms, prevent UTI complications, and improve overall urinary health. This will be achieved by monitoring symptom relief, urinary parameters, renal function, quality of life, and patient safety over the study period. |
