Sodium Carbonate
Sodium carbonate is an alkaline inorganic salt used as a pharmaceutical excipient and pH-adjusting agent in drug formulations, and has been investigated as an alkalinizing agent for urine in conditions such as cystinuria and uric acid urolithiasis. As a weak base, it neutralizes excess acid and can shift urinary pH to enhance dissolution of acidic urinary stones. It is used in ophthalmic preparations and as a buffering agent in various pharmaceutical dosage forms.
