Uses

Potassium Citrate - Citric Acid Crystals is an effective alkalinizing agent useful in those conditions where long-term maintenance of an alkaline urine is desirable, such as in patients with uric acid and cystine calculi of the urinary tract, especially when the administration of sodium salts is undesirable or contraindicated.  In addition, it is a valuable adjuvant when administered with uricosuric agents in gout therapy, since urates tend to crystallize out of an acid urine.  It is also effective in correcting the acidosis of certain renal tubular disorders where the administration of potassium citrate may be preferable.  Potassium Citrate - Citric Acid Crystals is highly 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.  Potassium Citrate - Citric Acid Crystals alkalinizes the urine without producing a systemic alkalosis in recommended dosage.  It is highly palatable, pleasant tasting, and tolerable, even when administered for long periods.  Potassium citrate does not neutralize the gastric juice or disturb digestion.
