Medicinal Benefits:

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis caused due to diabetes, hepatitis, starvation, shock, cardiac arrest, renal insufficiency, severe dehydration, severe primary lactic acidosis, Addison’s disease or administration of acidic drugs.
It is also used to increase urinary pH to increase the solubility of certain weak acids in the treatment of certain intoxications to decrease renal absorption of the drug, severe diarrhoea accompanied by loss of bicarbonate, and poisoning by salicylates or methyl alcohol.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection may also be used to treat patients who have taken too many tricyclic antidepressants, only after other resuscitation methods have been attempted.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. Thereby reducing the acid in the blood.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection helps reduce the amount of acid in the body after a heart attack in patients who have too much potassium in their blood or too much acid.

FAQs

What is the use of Sodium Bicarbonate Injection?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is used to treat Metabolic acidosis, severe diarrhoea, drug intoxication, and poisoning.

How does Sodium Bicarbonate Injection work?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. It reduces the acid in the blood.

Is Sodium Bicarbonate Injection used to treat metabolic acidosis?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is used to treat metabolic acidosis caused due to diabetes, hepatitis, starvation, shock, cardiac arrest, renal insufficiency, severe dehydration, severe primary lactic acidosis, Addison's disease or administration of acidic drugs. Metabolic acidosis is an electrolyte disorder characterised by an acid-base imbalance in the body.

How does Sodium Bicarbonate Injection help in severe diarrhoea?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is indicated in severe diarrhoea, which is often accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate. Sodium Bicarbonate Injection helps by compensating for the lost bicarbonate ions.

Is Sodium Bicarbonate Injection used to treat drug intoxications?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is indicated for treating certain drug intoxication, such as barbiturates (in cases where barbiturate-protein complex dissociation is desired). Sodium Bicarbonate Injection may also be used to treat patients who have taken too many tricyclic antidepressants only after other resuscitation methods have been attempted.

Is Sodium Bicarbonate Injection used in poisoning?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is used in poisoning by methyl alcohol or salicylates and in haemolytic reactions that require the alkalinisation of urine to lower the nephrotoxicity of haemoglobin and its by-products.
