Detailed Answer:
Hi Thanks for using XXXXXXX
I went through your query and understand your concern.
Yes you can give Citralka but in very diluted form. Alkalinisation of urine due to citralka relives discomfort in hypokalemia and citralka both can cause alkalosis. If her potassium level is low then stop giving this drug.
This is restricted in patients who are on a sodium or potassium restricted diet since this can cause alkalanization and also renal patients.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Feel free to ask if any related query and I will be glad to answer them.
Consult your doctor once for examination and management.

I wish faster recovery and good health.
