Terex Expt Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Sodium citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid. It is white, crystalline powder or white, granular crystals, slightly deliquescent in moist air, freely soluble in water,practically insoluble in alcohol. Like citric acid, it has a sour taste.From the medical point of view, it is used as alkalinizing agent. It works by neutralizing excess acid in the blood and urine. It has been indicated for the treatment of metabolic acidosis.

Citrate prevents activation of the clotting cascade by chelating calcium ions. Citrate neutralizes acid in the stomach and urine, raising the pH .

Uses

Sodium citrate is an ingredient used for the anticoagulation of whole blood as part of automated apheresis procedures.

Used as an anticoagulant during plasmophoresis as well as a neutralizing agent in the treatment of upset stomach and acidic urine .

Terex Expt is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acidosis, Allergic cough, Allergies, Asthma, Asthma Chronic, Cough, Common Cold, Cough, Coughing caused by Bronchitis, Dehydration, Gouty Arthritis, Heartburn, Metabolic Acidosis, Phlegm, Airway secretion clearance therapy, Oral rehydration therapy, Plasmapheresis, Urine alkalinization therapy, Fluid and electrolyte maintenance therapy, Irrigation during surgical procedures, Irrigation of the ocular surface therapy

How Terex Expt works

Citrate chelates free calcium ions preventing them from forming a complex with tissue factor and coagulation factor VIIa to promote the activation of coagulation factor X . This inhibits the extrinsic initiation of the coagulation cascade. Citrate may also exert an anticoagulant effect via a so far unknown mechanism as restoration of calcium concentration does not fully reverse the effect of citrate . Citrate is a weak base and so reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to raise the pH. It it further metabolized to bicarbonate which then acts as a systemic alkalizing agent, raising the pH of the blood and urine . It also acts as a diuretic and increases the urinary excretion of calcium.

Toxicity

Overdose toxicity is mainly due to alkalosis as well as tetany or depressed heart function due to lack of free calcium .
