What is Sodium Bicarbonate?
Active Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate
Sodium Bicarbonate Injections are used to treat metabolic acidosis caused by severe renal disease, severe primary lactic acidosis, uncontrolled diabetes, or cardiac arrest. It is also used to treat this condition when caused by circulatory insufficiencies caused by shock or severe dehydration.
This medication is indicated for the treatment of cardiac conduction delays and QRS prolongation.
Sodium Bicarbonate is an alkalinizing agent. It works by increasing plasma bicarbonate, buffering excess hydrogen ion concentration, raising blood pH, and reversing the clinical manifestations of acidosis.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injections are an aqueous, sterile, nonpyrogenic, and hypertonic solution of sodium bicarbonate with no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent, or added buffer.
