Serocit 46.7% Injection
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Serocit 46.7% Injection is a sterile solution commonly used as an anticoagulant during medical procedures such as hemodialysis or blood collection. It works by binding to calcium in the blood, which helps prevent clotting while the blood is outside the body.
Serocit 46.7% Injection is generally administered by a doctor or a nurse in a hospital or clinical setting. It should not be self-administered at home. The dose and rate of administration are carefully calculated by the doctor based on your medical condition, body weight, and the procedure being performed. To avoid any complications, it is important to follow all pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions given by your doctor.
There is limited data on the common side effects of Serocit 46.7% Injection. If you experience any symptoms after receiving the injection, let your doctor know. They may be able to help prevent or treat the side effects.
Before receiving Serocit 46.7% Injection, inform your doctor if you have any history of calcium imbalance, kidney problems, or heart conditions. This medicine should be used with caution in patients with impaired liver function, as it is processed by the liver. Since it can lower calcium levels in the blood, your doctor may monitor your calcium levels closely and provide supplementation if required.

Benefits of Serocit Injection
In Prevention of Blood clots
Serocit 46.7% Injection is not typically used for the prevention of blood clots in the body. Instead, it is mainly used as an anticoagulant in laboratory and blood transfusion settings to prevent blood from clotting outside the body (for example, in blood collection bags or test tubes). In medical treatment, it is more commonly used for conditions like urinary tract discomfort, kidney stones (as a urinary alkalinizer), and metabolic acidosis, rather than routine clot prevention inside the body.
Side effects of Serocit Injection
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How Serocit Injection works
Serocit 46.7% Injection acts as an anticoagulant by chelating (binding to) ionized calcium in the blood. It reduces the availability of free calcium and temporarily interrupts the clotting process, preventing blood from coagulating during extracorporeal procedures like hemodialysis or blood transfusion. Once the blood is returned to the body, normal calcium levels are restored, and the clotting function resumes.
