Sodium Acid Phosphate is an acidifying agent and buffering electrolyte used in veterinary medicine to correct metabolic alkalosis and acidosis, maintain acid-base balance, and restore electrolyte levels. It is often administered parenterally to improve animal health in cases of digestive disorders, urinary alkalinity, or metabolic imbalances. The sterile aqueous solution facilitates rapid absorption and systemic effect.
