Indications & Usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Sodium citrate and citric acid oral solution, USP is an effective alkalinizing agent. It is useful in those conditions where long-term maintenance of an alkaline urine is desirable, and is of value in the alleviation of chronic metabolic acidosis, such as results from chronic renal insuffi ciency or the syndrome of renal tubular acidosis, especially when the administration of potassium salts is undesirable or contraindicated. This product is also useful for buff ering and neutralizing gastric hydrochloric acid quickly and effectively. Sodium citrate and citric acid oral solution is concentrated, and when administered after meals and before bedtime, allows one to maintain an alkaline urinary pH around the clock, usually without the necessity of a 2 A.M. dose. This product alkalinizes the urine without producing a systemic alkalosis in the recommended dosage. This product is highly palatable, pleasant tasting, and tolerable, even when administered for long periods.

Dosage & Administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Sodium citrate and citric acid oral solution should be taken diluted in water, followed by additional water, if desired. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. For Systemic Alkalization Usual Adult Dose 2 to 6 teaspoonfuls (10 to 30 mL), diluted in 1 to 3 ounces of water, after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician. Usual Pediatric Dose 1 to 3 teaspoonfuls (5 to 15 mL), diluted in 1 to 3 ounces of water, after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician. For children under two years of age, use is based on consultation with a physician. As a neutralizing buffer 3 teaspoonfuls (15 mL), diluted with 15 mL water, taken as a single dose, or as directed by a physician.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Patients on sodium-restricted diets or with severe renal impairment.

Adverse Reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS Sodium citrate and citric acid oral solution is generally well tolerated, without any unpleasant side effects, when given in recommended doses to patients with normal renal function and urinary output. However, as with any alkalinizing agent, caution must be used in certain patients with abnormal renal mechanisms to avoid development of alkalosis, especially in the presence of hypocalcemia.
