Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup is an effective urine alkalizer. It increases the pH of urine and makes it alkaline. The uric acid can be easily flushed out in an alkaline medium and thus prevents the accumulation of uric acid in the kidneys. Disodium hydrogen citrate is prescribed by doctors to treat renal tubular acidosis, certain kinds of kidney stones and gout. The medicine basically increases the pH of urine and acts as a urinary alkaliser. The alkaline state of the kidneys flushes out uric acid and prevents further accumulation of it. It is primarily used for the treatment of renal tubular acidosis where kidneys fail to flush out acids into the urine and as a result blood becomes too acidic. 

The medicine is available in both syrup and tablet forms. It contains disodium hydrogen phosphate, which helps in metabolising free bicarbonate ions in the urine. It helps in increasing the solubility of cysteine in the urine and changes uric acid to soluble urate ions. With the increase of pH, the urine becomes more alkaline and gets rid of uric acid from the system.
