Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Potassium citrate

Potassium citrate, oral solution contains Tripotassium citrate monohydrate 20 grams, Citric acid monohydrate 4 grams, distilled water 40 ml, and simple syrup 100ml. The solution contained in a bottle of glass that contains 20 ml of 2 meq/ml of potassium and 2.5 meq/ml of citrate. The dose is 0,3ml/kg/day of the solution until the 38-40 weeks of corrected gestational age.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Potassium Citrate

Intervention Type DRUG

Potassium citrate, oral solution contains Tripotassium citrate monohydrate 20 grams, Citric acid monohydrate 4 grams, distilled water 40 ml, and simple syrup 100ml. The solution contained in a bottle of glass that contains 20 ml of 2 meq/ml of potassium and 2.5 meq/ml of citrate. The dose is 0,3ml/kg/day of the solution until the 38-40 weeks of corrected gestational age or unacceptable toxicity develops.

Placebo

Oral solution 30ml, that contains distilled water and simple syrup, in the same dose like the active treatment 0,3ml/kg/day.
