6 Adverse Reactions
Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the injection of blood products containing citrate anticoagulant. The recipient of the blood product containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity. The signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity begin with paresthesia, a "tingling" sensation around the mouth or in the extremities, followed by severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia. Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients who are hypothermic, have impaired liver or renal function, or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease.

12 Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of Action
ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A acts as an extracorporeal anticoagulant by binding the free calcium in the blood. Calcium is a necessary co-factor to several steps in the clotting cascade. The following ingredients are key components of the solution:
- Citric acid for pH regulation
- Sodium Citrate anticoagulates
- Dextrose for isotonicity
This solution has no pharmacological effect.
