What are ammonium chloride enteric-coated tablets?
AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (Ammonium Chloride Enseals®) is an acid-forming salt that can help correct situations in which the blood contains too little chloride or is too alkaline (basic). This can occur following vomiting, suctioning (removal) of stomach contents, use of diuretics (water or fluid pills), or with certain stomach disorders. Ammonium chloride also causes mild diuresis (removal of excess salts and water through increased urination) and makes the urine more acidic. Ammonium chloride also has been used to reduce the swelling, bloating, or weight gain that occurs before menstrual periods; and as an aid to treating urinary tract infections. Generic ammonium chloride tablets are available.
