DCA sodium dichloroacetate, often referred to simply as dichloroacetate or DCA, is a buffered form of dichloroacetic acid. This synthetic chemical compound has gained attention because it shows some potential as a cancer treatment. The buffered form of dichloroacetic acid is not an acid and can be taken orally without causing burns. Sodium dichloroacetate is not an approved drug and is therefore not immediately available as a pharmaceutical grade product. Consult your doctor if you are interested in this potential treatment, which is still in the early stages of investigation.
The only confirmed medical use for sodium dichloroacetate is to remove warts and other skin growths, according to the American Cancer Society. Researchers have tested it in humans to decrease lactic acid buildup, or lactic acidosis, in rare diseases involving metabolism or caused by severe head injuries and malaria. Side effects have been a problem with this possible treatment.
