When administered intravenously, Sodium Citrate 4% w/v Anticoagulant works by binding calcium ions in the blood, which are essential for the clotting process. This action helps keep the blood in a fluid state, preventing the formation of clots. The effects are typically immediate and last as long as the solution is present in the bloodstream.
