Alkalinizing agents are drugs used to manage disorders associated with low pH. For example, they may be used to treat acidosis due to kidney failure.[1]
Used for oral or parenteral therapy, sodium bicarbonate is the commonly preferred alkalinizing agent.[2] Others include potassium citrate, calcium carbonate, sodium lactate and calcium acetate.[3]
