Potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) is a mild saline laxative and potassium salt that exerts a cathartic effect by osmotically retaining water in the intestinal lumen and stimulating peristalsis. It has historically been used as a laxative and diuretic, and also serves as a pharmaceutical excipient and pH buffer in various formulations.
