About Sodium Bi Carbonate
Sodium Bi Carbonate is mainly used to treat acid indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach, and stomach upset. Sodium Bi Carbonate may also be prescribed to make the blood or urine less acidic in certain conditions. It helps correct the acid-alkaline balance in the body.
Sodium Bi Carbonate contains sodium bicarbonate, which helps neutralize the stomach's acidic pH. Thereby, Sodium Bi Carbonate helps to provide relief from acidity.
Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as dry mouth, urinating more than usual, and increased thirst. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Inform your doctor if you have any conditions like high blood pressure, kidney, liver or heart disease, or have recently had bleeding in the stomach. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding.
