* Diuretic effect to promote urine flow.
* Alleviation of symptoms associated with urinary issues like burning micturition.

## Pediatric Dosing
There is **no established pediatric dosing** for Cystone Forte. Its use in children is generally not recommended without specific guidance from a qualified healthcare provider.
