Yes, theoretically excretion of amphetamines will be slowed by taken Ural via decreased kidney clearance of the amphetamines and increasing their reabsorption by the renal tubules (according to Drug-Reax). Ural is an Australian brand name, so people elsewhere would have to look for a local equivalent. It contains :Sodium bicarbonate 1.76 g, sodium citrate (anhyd.) 0.63 g, citric acid (anhyd.) 0.72 g, tartaric acid
djremix: even if you plug a pill, it is still metabolised by your liver and excreted in the urine. So, AFAIK Ural would still have an effect.
Is it dangerous? The Ural itself isn't, but if you aren't careful you could accidentally OD on the speed or e, so I would suggest people start low and go slow with the dosing. Don't start with three pills and three urals for example. If you do it, tell you friends, so that if you get into trouble and need medical attention, they will know to give you urinary acidifying agents. Also, keep in mind that the longer you're rolling, the more neurotoxic damage you may be doing and the more serotonin you will be depleting, so i think the anti-oxidant pre- and post-loads would be even more important in this situation.

People I can't stress this enough: if you try this, follow the dose instructions on the pack. DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE OF SODIUM BICARBONATE. To do so may cause metabloic alkalosis, a medical emergency. And please heed the warnings in my last post. Remember that neurotoxicity research has been conducted on MDMA in the absence of sodium bicarbonate. And I think it is safe to assume that the longer you are rolling, the more neurotoxic it will be. I can't endorse doing this, as it's kind of counter-harm-reduction, but I know people will try it, and feel you should know the risks involved.
