Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup 1.25gm
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate is a urinary alkaliser which is used to treat renal tubular acidosis, kidney stones and gout. Kidney stones are small hard masses composed of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts which aggregate together in concentrated urine. Renal tubular acidosis is a condition where the kidneys do not excrete acids in the urine, thus rendering the blood too acidic.
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate has disodium hydrogen citrate, which gets metabolised into bicarbonate and enhances the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; this raises the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionises uric acid to soluble urate ion. This aids in raising the urinary pH, hence making the urine less acidic.
