Tricitrates Oral Solution, USP is a stable orange colored and cherry flavored oral systemic alkalizer containing potassium citrate, sodium citrate, and citric acid in a sugar-free, non-alcoholic base. Tricitrates Oral Solution, USP contains in each teaspoonful (5 mL): Potassium Citrate Monohydrate, USP 550 mg Sodium Citrate Dihydrate, USP 500 mg Citric Acid Monohydrate, USP 334 mg Each mL contains 1 mEq potassium ion and 1 mEq sodium ion and is equivalent to 2 mEq bicarbonate (HCO 3 ). Inactive Ingredients: saccharin sodium, sodium benzoate, sorbitol solution, FD&C yellow # 6, wild cherry flavor, and purified water. ACTIONS Potassium citrate and sodium citrate are absorbed and metabolized to potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate, thus acting as systemic alkalizers. The effects are essentially those of chlorides before absorption and those of bicarbonates subsequently. Oxidation is virtually complete so that less than 5% of the citrates are excreted in the urine unchanged.
