Sodium Acetate
Sodium acetate is an electrolyte replenishment agent used as a source of sodium and bicarbonate precursor in parenteral nutrition and intravenous fluid therapy for the correction of metabolic acidosis and hyponatremia. Acetate is metabolized to bicarbonate by peripheral tissues via the citric acid cycle, providing an indirect alkalinizing effect. It is also used as a pharmaceutical excipient in buffer systems for injectable formulations.
