Sbc-Mb 10 Ml Amp (50X10 Ml) Sodium Bicarbonate Injection By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Sodium bicarbonate injection is used in hospitals to correct excess acid in the blood (metabolic acidosis). It may also be used in selected medical emergencies, such as some poisonings or severely high blood potassium, when specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

How does it work?
It provides bicarbonate, which helps neutralise excess acid and raise the blood’s pH. It also adds sodium to the body.

How to take/use it
This injection is given into a vein by a doctor or nurse. The dose and rate depend on the medical condition and blood test results, so it must be used under close medical monitoring.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, thirst, irritation at the injection site, fluid retention, increased blood sodium and low potassium. Excessive use may cause blood alkalosis.

Precautions
Use only under medical supervision, especially in people with heart failure, kidney disease, high blood pressure, swelling, or electrolyte problems. Blood sodium, potassium, acid levels and fluid balance may need monitoring. Seek urgent medical attention for breathing difficulty, severe swelling, confusion, or worsening symptoms.
