What does it do?

Sodium citrate is a type of organic acid that is primarily used in pharmaceutical preparations as an effervescent granule. It aids in the rapid dissolution of the drug in water for easier absorption.

Sodium citrate reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide. The bubbles produced in this process quickly disperse the drug and promote its dissolution.

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

Good to know

Unlike other organic acids, sodium citrate induces stable and effective carbon dioxide production in the effervescent reaction. This makes it widely used in effervescent granule formulations.
