Sodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7•2H2O), also known as citric trisodium salt dihydrate or trisodium citrate dehydrate, is derived from citric acid and comes in granular or powder form. It has a salty yet pleasant taste, is odorless, and dissolves readily in water. While it is slightly deliquescent in moist air, it is insoluble in alcohol. It is produced by neutralizing citric acid with high-purity sodium hydroxide or carbonate and then crystallizing the solution.

Sodium citrate dihydrate is a non-toxic, neutral salt with low reactivity and stable chemical properties when stored at ambient temperatures. Its biodegradability and compatibility with regular waste or sewage disposal contribute to its appeal, further driving sales.

For instance:

  • In 2023, Amsino International Inc. bought MedXL Inc., which has greatly enhanced its manufacturing capability in the North American region. This acquisition not only enables Amsino to acquire MedXL’s assets and product registrations; it also adds to Amsin’s product line a slew of prefilled syringes, particularly those that contain sodium citrate formulations. The initiative is to enhance the company’s supply chain flexibility in the face of shifting geopolitics and improve customer satisfaction with the prospect of achieving an added 500 million annual vehicle output.
  • In 2023, The Indian government approved the sale of two fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs: For cough relief with Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Ammonium Chloride + Sodium Citrate, and depression with Imipramine + Diazepam. These combinations were considered rational by an expert committee. Nonetheless, 14 other FDCs were prohibited as they were deemed irrational, which asserts enduring pressure in the pharmaceutical industries.
