It is generally considered to have diuretic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. ## Primary Indications Cystone Forte is primarily indicated for the management of urinary tract infections (UTIs), urolithiasis (kidney stones), and associated symptoms such as dysuria, burning micturition, and urinary frequency. It is also used for general urinary tract health. ## Adult Dosing * **Usual Dose:** 2 tablets twice daily. * **Maximum Dose:** Not explicitly established for the herbal formulation, but typically no more than 4-6 tablets per day is recommended. ## Pediatric Dosing * Dosing for pediatric patients is not well-established and should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
