Detailed Description
IUPAC NAME-tripotassium citrate
MOLECULAR FORMULA-C6H5K3O7
MOLAR MASS-306.395 g/mol
Potassium citrate is rapidly absorbed when given by mouth and is excreted in the urine.[2] Since it is an alkaline salt it is effective in reducing the pain and frequency of urination when these are caused by highly acidic urine. It is used for this purpose in dogs and cats, but is chiefly employed as a non-irritating diuretic.
