Pharmacology

A stable and pleasant-tasting oral systemic alkalizer is potassium citrate and citric acid oral solution. As a systemic alkalizer, potassium citrate is absorbed and converted to potassium bicarbonate. In recommended doses, this substance alkalinizes the urine without causing systemic alkalosis. Even when given for long periods of time, it is highly appetizing, pleasant tasting, and bearable. Potassium Citrate does not interfere with digestion or neutralize the gastric juice.

Side Effects

However, as with any alkalinizing agent, caution must be used in certain patients with abnormal renal mechanisms to avoid the development of hyperkalemia or alkalosis. Potassium intoxication causes listlessness, weakness, mental confusion, tingling of extremities, and other symptoms associated with a high concentration of potassium in the serum.
