Sodium hydrogen carbonate, 5%, 200 ml

Sodium bicarbonate has alkaline properties and increases the alkaline reserve of the blood.

In internal use, it quickly neutralizes hydrochloric acid of gastric juice and has a rapid, but short-lived antacid effect. It irritates the receptors of the gastric mucosa, increases gastrin release with secondary activation of secretion, may cause discomfort in the stomach (due to its distension) and belching.

By reducing the viscosity of sputum due to a shift in the alkaline side of the reaction of bronchial mucus has expectorant action

In absorption, leads to the development of alkalosis. Alkalization of urine prevents deposition of uric acid in the urinary tract.

Eases symptoms of seasickness and air sickness.

Indications

Peptic ulcer;

increased acidity of gastric juice;

the need to dilute bronchial secretions;

metabolic acidosis (including during infections, diabetes mellitus, intoxication, in the postoperative period);

inflammatory diseases of the eyes, mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, mouth (including when irritated by acids);

alkalinization of urine;

to loosen earwax;

renal tubular acidosis, cystine kidney stones, urate kidney stones.

Pharmacological effect

Sodium bicarbonate has alkaline properties and increases the alkaline reserve of the blood.

When used internally, it quickly neutralizes the hydrochloric acid of gastric juice and has a quick, but short-term antacid effect. Irritates the receptors of the gastric mucosa, increases the release of gastrin with secondary activation of secretion, can cause discomfort in the stomach (due to its distension) and belching.

Due to a decrease in the viscosity of sputum due to a shift to the alkaline side of the reaction of bronchial mucus, it has an expectorant effect

When absorbed, it leads to the development of alkalosis. Alkalinization of urine prevents the deposition of uric acid in the urinary tract.

Relieves symptoms of sea and air sickness.

Special instructions

It is not recommended to use systematically due to the fact that when hydrochloric acid of the stomach is neutralized with sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide is released, which has a stimulating effect on the receptors of the gastric mucosa, increases the release of gastrin and can cause a secondary increase in secretion.

In addition, with long-term regular use, urine may become alkaline and increase the risk of phosphate stones.

Intensive removal of CO2 can provoke perforation of the walls of the gastrointestinal tract.

In patients with underlying heart or kidney disease, excess sodium intake causes edema and heart failure.

Active ingredient

Sodium bicarbonate

Composition

1 l sodium bicarbonate 50 g

Contraindications

Conditions accompanied by the development of metabolic alkalosis.

Side Effects

With prolonged use, the development of alkalosis (sometimes uncompensated) is possible, accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, pain in the epigastric region, anxiety, headaches, and in some severe cases, tetanic convulsions; increased blood pressure, flatulence (when taken orally).

Interaction

With simultaneous use, the excretion of amphetamine in the urine decreases due to an increase in urine pH under the influence of sodium bicarbonate.

When ingesting sodium bicarbonate while using lithium carbonate in established maintenance doses, a decrease in the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma is possible, which is due to the influence of sodium ions.

When used simultaneously with methotrexate, the excretion of methotrexate in the urine increases and its toxic effect on the kidneys decreases due to an increase in urine pH under the influence of sodium bicarbonate.

With simultaneous oral administration, the absorption of tetracyclines is reduced.

Due to the increase in urine pH under the influence of sodium bicarbonate, there is a delay in the excretion of ephedrine from the body and an increased risk of side effects (tremor, anxiety, sleep disturbances, tachycardia).

With intravenous drip administration of sodium bicarbonate, the antihypertensive effect of reserpine may be enhanced.

Storage conditions

In a dry place, at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C.

Shelf life

2 years.
Do not use after the expiration date stated on the package.
