Virtrate-k | Virtus Pharmaceuticals
Virtrate-K is highly concentrated, and when consumed after meals and before bedtime, allows one to maintain an alkaline urinary pH around the clock. When consumed as recommended, Virtrate-K alkalinizes the urine without producing a systemic alkalosis. It is highly palatable and pleasant tasting. Potassium citrate does not neutralize the gastric juice or disturb digestion.
Virtrate-K should be taken diluted in water according to directions, followed by additional water, if desired. Palatability is enhanced if chilled before taking.
Usual Adult Dose3 to 6 teaspoonfuls (15 to 30 mL), diluted with 1 glass of water, after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician.
Usual Pediatric Dose1 to 3 teaspoonfuls (5 to 15 mL), diluted with 1/2 glass of water, after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician.
Usual Dosage Range2 to 3 teaspoonfuls (10 to 15 mL), diluted with a glassful of water, taken four times a day will usually maintain a urinary pH of 7.0-7.6 throughout most of the 24 hours without unpleasant side effects. To check urinary pH, HYDRION Paper (pH 6.0-8.0) or NITRAZINE Paper (pH 4.5-7.5) are available and easy to use.
