In pharmaceutical manufacturing, every ingredient must meet rigorous standards for purity, consistency, and therapeutic relevance. Among the most reliable and multifunctional excipients and actives is Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO₃)—a compound widely used for its role in electrolyte therapy, acid-base balance, and as a pH regulator.
At Chemignition Laboratory, we specialize in the manufacture and export of high-purity Potassium Bicarbonate for pharmaceutical use, in full compliance with IP, BP, EP, and USP standards.
What is Potassium Bicarbonate?
Potassium Bicarbonate is an inorganic salt that appears as a white, crystalline powder. It dissolves easily in water and has alkaline buffering properties, making it essential in both oral and injectable pharmaceutical formulations.
- Chemical Formula: KHCO₃
- Molecular Weight: 100.12 g/mol
- Pharmacopoeial Grades: IP, BP, EP, USP
- Purity: ≥ 99% (pharma-grade assay)
Why Is Potassium Bicarbonate Used in Pharmaceuticals?
Potassium Bicarbonate plays both functional and therapeutic roles in pharmaceutical products:
1. Electrolyte Replacement Therapy
- Treats hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis
- Used in oral rehydration salts (ORS)
- Key component in IV electrolyte fluids
2. Antacid and Digestive Formulations
- Acts as a pH buffer
- Neutralizes excess stomach acid
- Common in effervescent tablets and chewable antacids
3. Effervescent Tablet Base
- Produces carbon dioxide when combined with acids
- Enhances disintegration and absorption
4. Nutritional & Potassium Supplementation
- Delivers potassium in easily absorbable form
- Used in nutraceuticals, dietary powders, and capsules
5. Veterinary Pharmaceuticals
- Included in oral electrolyte supplements for animals
