Pharmacology
Sodium bicarbonate acts as a systemic alkalizer: it raises plasma bicarbonate levels, buffers excess hydrogen ions, and increases blood pH, helping to reverse the clinical signs of acidosis. As a urinary alkalizer, it boosts the excretion of free bicarbonate ions in the urine, raising urinary pH. In cases of severe diarrhea, where bicarbonate loss can be substantial, it also helps restore the resulting electrolyte imbalance.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the developing baby. In pregnant women, animal studies have shown adverse effects on the kidneys, so this medicine is not recommended during the second and third trimesters. It may also make high blood pressure worse. This medication can pass into breast milk.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
