Description

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup has a composition of disodium hydrogen citrate, which polyamines to bicarbonate and enhances the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; this increases the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionises uric acid to soluble urate ion. This helps in increasing the urinary pH, thereby making the urine less acidic.
