What does it do?

Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkaline compound primarily used to regulate the acidity of solutions in intravenous nutrition solutions. This helps to ensure that the medication remains stable.

Potassium hydroxide adjusts the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution to set the pH in an alkaline direction. An appropriate pH environment prevents other components in the nutrient solution from deteriorating and maintaining their efficacy.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
