Potassium Citrate may be used to control Uric acid kidney stones. Chemical Formula: C6H5K3O7 + H2O Appearance: A white, slightly hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is odourless with a saline taste. Uses: Potassium Citrate is rapidly absorbed when given by mouth and is excreted in the urine as the Carbonate. It is, therefore, effective in reducing pain and frequency of micturition when these are caused by highly acid urine. It is used for this purpose in dogs and cats, but is chiefly employed as a non-irritating diuretic. In common with other substances which render the urine alkaline, it may be used to reduce the danger of crystalluria during sulfonamide therapy. Potassium Citrate is usually administered by mouth in dilute aqueous solution.
