Phosphoric Acid
Phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid used in pharmaceutical formulations primarily as a pH-adjusting agent and acidulant, and has also been used in very dilute concentrations as an antiemetic for nausea and vomiting. It plays a physiological role in buffering systems and serves as a source of phosphate ions used in various electrolyte replacement preparations.
