Synonym— Synthetic Benzoic Acid.
Physiological Action—A solution taken into the stomach produces warmth and slight irritation. It is nontoxic, is decomposed in the presence of hippuric acid. It is of considerable, power as an antiseptic and germicide.
This acid acts, directly in neutralizing alkalinity throughout the system, upon the urea in the processes of conversion of that substance into hippuric acid, robbing it of its nitrogen. There is thus a reduction of the amount of urea where this acid is administered in large quantity. If there is a lessened quantity of uric acid it is because of the appropriation of nitrogen by the benzoic acid, and not because of any solvent properties the agent has upon the uric acid.
Therapy—Its direct action is exercised upon the urinary apparatus. It is specifically indicated in conditions where the urine is alkaline, inducing frequency of urination with more or less irritation and pain in nocturnal enuresis.
It is a good remedy in excessive excretion of the phosphates exhibited by phosphatic sediment—insoluble phosphates in the urine—a deposit of phosphatic gravel. Its influence is chemical and does not persist after the withdrawal of the agent. Incontinence of urine depending upon the irritation caused by the presence of this gravel is cured by it.
Incontinence in cases where the urine is excessively alkaline, from whatever cause, is quickly cured by it, as it is one of our best agents for the neutralization of excessive alkalinity of the urine. It has been used by the writer for nearly twenty-five years in the treatment of cystitis where there was ammoniacal urine. Its influence is prompt and satisfactory, rapidly promoting the processes of healing.
It is useful in gonorrhea where the urine is alkaline, and in general urethral irritation from the presence of an excess of alkaline constituents. It is readily dissolved by the addition of sodium borate, decomposing the acid, but not interfering with, but rather enhancing the beneficial results of its action. It requires three parts of the borate of sodium to effectually dissolve two parts of the acid in thirty parts of water.

cranberries contain Ammonium Benzoicum, that's why they are used to treat all urinary problems.
