SODIUM BICARB 1000MG 30 CAPULES

Description:

SODIUM BICARB 1000mg 30 capsules by BIOMED is an oral systemic antacid and alkalinizing agent containing sodium bicarbonate. It is used to neutralize excess stomach acid and to correct metabolic acidosis and acid-base imbalance in the blood and urine under medical supervision. Each hard capsule delivers a high-strength 1000 mg dose of sodium bicarbonate, helping to reduce acidity, relieve heartburn and indigestion, and support the management of conditions where controlled alkalinization is required. This product is classified as a medicine and should be used according to a healthcare professional’s instructions.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms associated with hyperacidity such as heartburn, sour stomach, and acid indigestion.
• Adjunct in the management of gastric or duodenal irritation where reduction of gastric acidity is desired (as directed by a physician).
• Correction or prevention of metabolic acidosis in certain conditions, under strict medical supervision.
• Alkalinization of urine in specific clinical situations (e.g., some kidney conditions) as prescribed by a doctor.
• Supportive use in emergency medical situations to help correct acid-base imbalance in the blood (e.g., severe kidney or lung problems, cardiac arrest) – usually managed in a hospital setting.

• Supports emergency management of severe acidosis related to serious kidney, lung, or cardiac events when used in a controlled medical setting.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision, especially for long-term use or high doses.
• Contraindicated in patients with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis, hypocalcemia, or severe renal impairment unless specifically directed by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with heart failure, hypertension, edema, or conditions requiring sodium restriction, as sodium bicarbonate contains significant sodium.
• Do not use for prolonged periods for simple heartburn without medical evaluation; persistent symptoms may indicate a serious condition.
• May interact with certain medications (e.g., some antibiotics, antifungals, aspirin, other oral drugs whose absorption is pH-dependent). Separate administration times and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, hypertension, or electrolyte disturbances.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not exceed recommended dose; excessive use may lead to metabolic alkalosis, fluid retention, or electrolyte imbalance.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include belching, gas, mild stomach discomfort, or nausea due to carbon dioxide formation in the stomach.
• High or prolonged doses may cause metabolic alkalosis, characterized by muscle twitching, irritability, confusion, or tingling in extremities.
• May contribute to fluid retention, swelling (edema), or worsening of heart failure or hypertension in susceptible individuals due to sodium load.
• Electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia) may occur with inappropriate or prolonged use.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, severe weakness, persistent vomiting, swelling of the face or limbs, or signs of severe alkalosis.
