First Aid says that TCA's are an example of a weak base and in order to trap weak bases in the urine you need to acidify the environment with something like ammonium chloride. I'm just wondering why First Aid then later says to treat TCA overdose with sodium bicarbonate (something that would be used to trap weak acids in the urine by alkalinizing it). Thanks in advance for the input!
