Cistidep

Cistidep Dr Phyto comes in syrup form, which makes it easy to administer to children, providing simple and accurate dosing. The 150 ml bottle comes with a measuring system to ensure correct dosing.

Cistidep is indicated for children who need extra support for urinary tract and immune health. The syrup is used for:

• Support urinary tract health: cranberry is known for its ability to prevent bacteria from attaching to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Cistidep may also help reduce the stinging and pain of urinary tract infections

• Strengthening the immune system: vitamin C and zinc play an essential role in supporting normal functioning of the immune system, protecting your child against urinary tract infections

• Support healthy digestion: inulin, a natural prebiotic, helps maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora, which can prevent the development and infection of other pathogenic microorganisms.

The recommended dosing regimen for Cistidep varies depending on the age of the child and the specific indications given by the doctor. The typical dose for children may be:

• Children 6 months-3 years: 2.5 ml twice a day after meals for 7-10 days in the acute phase and 2.5 ml a day after meals for 3-6 months for prophylaxis of recurrences 

• Children 3-6 years: 5 ml twice daily after meals for 7-10 days in the acute phase and 5 ml daily after meals for 3-6 months for prophylaxis of recurrences 

• Children 6-12 years: 10 ml twice daily after meals for 7-10 days in the acute phase and 10 ml daily after meals for 3-6 months for prophylaxis of recurrences 

Although Cistidep is specially formulated for children, there are certain situations in which its use is not recommended, such as allergies to any of the ingredients. If your child has known allergies to vitamin C, zinc, inulin, cranberry or other ingredients, use of the syrup should be avoided.

Shake well before use to ensure the ingredients are homogenized.

It is recommended to take the syrup with meals and after emptying the bladder.

Cistidep is usually well tolerated but, like any supplement or medicine, some side effects can occur, especially if you are sensitive to the active ingredients:

• Bloating or gas: inulin can cause abdominal discomfort in some children, especially if they are not used to high-fiber supplements.
• Allergic reactions: although rare, allergic reactions such as rashes can occur

Important! The product contains sweeteners, excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

In some cases, cranberry can interact with anticoagulant drugs (such as warfarin), increasing the risk of bleeding.

It is important to tell your doctor about any other supplements you take to prevent possible interactions.

Cistidep overdose can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps.

In case of overdose, urgent medical advice is needed.

Cistidep should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and moisture.
