What is it used for?
Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used as an antacid to temporarily relieve heartburn and acid indigestion. The exact use may vary by product, so check the pack or pharmacist’s instructions.

How does it work?
It neutralises excess acid in the stomach, helping to reduce acidity and heartburn.

How to take/use it
Take only as directed on the product label or by a doctor. Do not exceed the recommended amount or use it for prolonged periods without medical advice. Keep it separate from other medicines as advised by a pharmacist, because it may affect their absorption.

Common side effects
Belching, gas, stomach discomfort, nausea, and increased thirst may occur. Excessive use can cause fluid retention or changes in the body’s acid and salt balance.

Precautions
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if there is high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, swelling, or a low-salt diet. Do not use regularly for persistent heartburn without medical advice. Seek medical help for severe or ongoing symptoms, vomiting, black stools, or difficulty swallowing.
