----------
Prescription Systemic Alkalinizing Dietary Supplement1
Virtrate-2 is an orally administered prescription systemic alkalinizing dietary supplement1 and should be administered under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.
Virtrate-2 is an effective alkalinizing agent due to sodium citrate, which when absorbed is metabolized to sodium bicarbonate. It is useful in those conditions in which long-term maintenance of alkaline urine is desirable, such as people with renal insufficiency or the syndrome of renal tubular acidosis, especially when the administration of potassium salts is undesirable or contraindicated. Virtrate-2 also is useful for buffering and neutralizing gastric acidity quickly and effectively.

Virtrate-2 is concentrated, and when consumed after meals and before bedtime, allows one to maintain an alkaline urinary pH around the clock. When consumed as recommended, Virtrate-2 alkalinizes the urine without producing a systemic alkalosis. This product is highly palatable and pleasant tasting even when consumed over long periods.
Virtrate-2 should be taken diluted in water, followed by additional water, if desired. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING.
2 to 6 teaspoonfuls (10 to 30 mL), diluted in 1 to 3 ounces of water, after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician.
Virtrate-2 is contraindicated for people on sodium-restricted diets or with severe renal impairment.
Virtrate-2 should be used with caution by people with low urinary output unless they are under the supervision of a physician. It should not be administered concurrently with aluminum-based antacids. Virtrate-2 should be diluted adequately with water. If possible, take each dose after meals to avoid saline laxative effect. People with cardiac failure, hypertension, impaired renal function, peripheral and pulmonary edema, and toxemia of pregnancy should use sodium salts cautiously. Persons with renal disease should have periodic determinations of serum electrolytes, particularly serum bicarbonate, in order to avoid complications.
When consumed as recommended by people with normal renal function and urinary output, Virtrate-2 generally has no unpleasant side effects. Persons with abnormal renal mechanisms should be careful to avoid development of alkalosis, especially in the presence of hypocalcemia.
Overdosage with sodium salts may cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, hypernoia, and convulsions.
Virtrate-2 is supplied as colorless, grape flavored liquid dispensed in 16 fl. oz. (472 mL) bottles.
