ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🎯 Indications and Usage 57 words ▾

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Renacidin is indicated for dissolution of bladder calculi of the struvite or apatite variety by local intermittent irrigation through a urethral catheter or cystostomy tube as an alternative or adjunct to surgical procedures. Renacidin is also indicated for use as an intermittent irrigating solution to prevent encrustations of indwelling urethral catheters and cystostomy tubes.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~1 min read ▾

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Renacidin for local irrigation within the lower urinary tract is available in single-use 30 mL containers. Prepare and Administer the Dose: Step 1: Inspect Renacidin visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. If particulate matter or discoloration are observed, do not administer.

Step 2: Remove the plastic tab connected to the conical tip of the Renacidin container by twisting the plastic tab. See Figure 1. Figure 1 Step 3: Connect the conical tip of the Renacidin container to the end of the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube.

See Figure 2. Figure 2 Step 4: Squeeze the Renacidin container to expel the entire contents into the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube. See Figure 3.

Figure 3 For Dissolution of Bladder Calculi: Instill 30 mL (one container) of Renacidin into the bladder via a urethral catheter or cystostomy tube. Clamp the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube for 30 to 60 minutes. Release the clamp and drain the bladder.

Repeat the instillation procedure 4 to 6 times a day. Monitor for dissolution of calculi. For Prevention of Encrustations in Urethral Catheters and Cystostomy Tubes: Instill 30 mL (one container) of Renacidin into the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube.

Clamp the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube for 10 minutes. Remove the clamp and drain the bladder. Repeat the instillation procedure 3 times a day.

⛔ Contraindications 12 words ▾

CONTRAINDICATIONS Renacidin is contraindicated in the presence of demonstrable urinary tract extravasation.

⚠️ Warnings 126 words ▾

WARNINGS Renacidin use should be stopped immediately if the patient develops fever, urinary tract infection, signs and symptoms consistent with urinary tract infection, or persistent flank pain. Irrigation should be stopped if elevated serum creatinine develops. The contents of individual Renacidin containers should not be combined for use as continuous irrigation of the urinary tract because of complications that may arise from inadequate aseptic technique.

Terminal sterilization processes that are not adequate may result in sepsis and/or injury to product handlers (e.g., irritation to exposed, unprotected areas of the skin). Serious adverse reactions, including sepsis and hypermagnesemia, have been reported to occur when Renacidin was used for continuous irrigation of the upper urinary tract. Renacidin is not indicated for continuous irrigation of the upper urinary tract.

🤒 Adverse Reactions 61 words ▾

ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions with use of Renacidin for dissolution of bladder calculi or prevention of encrustations of indwelling urethral catheters are “bladder irritability” and chemical cystitis, both reported to occur in approximately 3% of patients. A transient burning sensation in the bladder following Renacidin has been reported to occur in less than 1% of patients receiving Renacidin.

🤰 Pregnancy 46 words ▾

Pregnancy Category C Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Renacidin. It is also not known whether Renacidin can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Renacidin should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 77 words ▾

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Renacidin's action on susceptible apatite calculi results from an exchange of magnesium from the irrigating solution for calcium contained in the stone matrix. The magnesium salts thereby formed are soluble in the gluconocitrate irrigating solution resulting in the dissolution of the calculus. Struvite calculi are composed mainly of magnesium ammonium phosphates which are solubilized by Renacidin due to its acidic pH.

Renacidin is not effective for dissolution of calcium oxalate, uric acid or cysteine stones.

📦 How Supplied / Storage and Handling 99 words ▾

HOW SUPPLIED Renacidin is available as a sterile, non-pyrogenic irrigation solution in 30 mL single-use, low density, polyethylene containers, supplied in boxes of 30 containers each. Exposure of Renacidin to heat or cold should be minimized. Renacidin should be stored at room temperature, 59° to 86°F (15° to 30°C).

Avoid excessive heat or cold (keep from freezing). Brief exposure to temperatures of up to 40°C or temperatures down to 5°C does not adversely affect the product.

📋 Description 124 words ▾

DESCRIPTION Renacidin ® (Citric Acid, Glucono delta-lactone, and Magnesium Carbonate) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic irrigation solution for use within the lower urinary tract in the dissolution of bladder calculi of the struvite or apatite variety, and prevention of encrustations of urethral catheters and cystostomy tubes. Each 30 mL of Renacidin contains: Active ingredients: Citric Acid (anhydrous), USP 1980.6 mg C 6 H 8 O 7 Glucono delta-lactone, USP 59.4 mg C 6 H 10 O 6 Magnesium Carbonate, USP 980.4 mg (MgCO 3 ) 4 · Mg(OH) 2 · 5H 2 O Citric Acid Glucono delta-lactone Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO 3 ) 4 · Mg(OH) 2 · 5H 2 O Inert ingredients: Benzoic Acid, USP 6.9 mg Solution pH: 3.85 (3.5-4.2) citric acid glucono delta-lactone

⚠️ Precautions ~2 min read ▾

PRECAUTIONS Maintain Patency of the Urethral Catheter or Cystostomy Tube Care must be taken during therapy with Renacidin to maintain the patency of the urethral catheter or cystostomy tube. Calculus fragments and debris may obstruct the catheter. Catheter outflow blockage may be prevented by flushing the catheter with saline and repositioning of the catheter.

Frequent monitoring of the system should be performed by a nurse, an aide or any person with sufficient skills to be able to detect any problems with the patency of the catheter. At the first sign of obstruction, Renacidin should be discontinued. Caution in Patients with Vesicoureteral Reflux Patients with an indwelling urethral catheter or a cystostomy tube may have undiagnosed vesicoureteral reflux.

Appropriate evaluation prior to initiation of Renacidin is recommended. If reflux is demonstrated, the potential benefits of therapy should outweigh the risks, and all recommended safety monitoring precautions should be strictly implemented. Safety Monitoring While on Therapy with Renacidin Patients should be monitored throughout the course of therapy with Renacidin.

Serum creatinine, phosphate and magnesium should be obtained every several days. Urine specimens should be collected for culture and antibacterial sensitivity approximately every three days and at the first sign of fever. Therapy with Renacidin should be stopped if any culture exhibits growth and appropriate antibacterial therapy should be initiated.

Therapy with Renacidin may be started again after a course of antibacterial therapy upon demonstration of sterile urine. Struvite calculi frequently contain bacteria within the stone and antibacterial therapy should therefore be continued throughout the course of dissolution therapy. An elevated serum creatinine concentration is also an indication to stop therapy with Renacidin.

Concomitant Use with Medications Containing Magnesium Concomitant use of Renacidin and medications containing magnesium may contribute to hypermagnesemia in susceptible individuals, such as patients with vesicoureteral reflux. Renacidin Irrigation should be used with caution in patients taking concomitant medications containing magnesium. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long term studies to evaluate carcinogenic potential of Renacidin in animals have not been conducted.

Mutagenicity studies have not been conducted. Pregnancy Category C Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Renacidin. It is also not known whether Renacidin can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.

Renacidin should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Nursing Mothers Magnesium is known to be excreted into human milk. It is not known whether Renacidin is excreted in human milk.

Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Renacidin is administered to a nursing woman.

Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Renacidin — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Renacidin. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by United-Guardian, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
United-Guardian, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
