More sol. than Na salts; also used in low-Na foods and as a potassium source in nutritional supplements Potassium citrate is an effective way to treat/manage gout and arrhythmia, if the patient is hypokalemic. In common with other substances that render the urine alkaline, it may be used to reduce the danger of crystalluria during sulfonamide therapy. Potassium citrate is found in beverages. 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, potassium salt 866-84-2 (anhydrous) Acalka Citric acid tripotassium salt Citric acid, potassium salt Citric acid, tripotassium salt Citric acid, tripotassium salt, monohydrate E332 Kajos Kaliksir Litocit Polycitra k Porekal Potassium citrate Potassium citrate (anhydrous) Potassium citrate anhydrous Potassium citrate monohydrate Potassium citrate tribasic monohydrate Potassium tribasic citrate Seltz-k Tripotassium citrate Tripotassium citrate monohydrate Urocit K Urocit K Srt 540mg Urocit-k C6H8K3O7 309.4184 308.918123193 tripotassium 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid tripotassium citric acid 866-84-2 [K+].[K+].[K+].OC(=O)CC(O)(CC(O)=O)C(O)=O InChI=1S/C6H8O7.3K/c7-3(8)1-6(13,5(11)12)2-4(9)10;;;/h13H,1-2H2,(H,7,8)(H,9,10)(H,11,12);;;/q;3*+1 QEEAPRPFLLJWCF-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives.
