STRENGTHS & GRADES
Sodium Acetate Anhydrous is the anhydrous, sodium salt form of acetic acid.
Sodium acetate anhydrous disassociates in water to form sodium ions (Na+) and
acetate ions. Sodium is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid and
plays a large part in fluid and electrolyte replacement therapies.
Sodium acetate anhydrous is used as an electrolyte replenisher in
isosmotic solution for parenteral replacement of acute losses
of extracellular fluid without disturbing normal electrolyte balance.
