Sodium Bicarbonate

Q. What is Sodium Bicarbonate tablet used for? How does it work?
Sodium Bicarbonate is an antacid used to relieve acid indigestion, heartburn, and gas. When taken orally, it neutralizes the acid present in the stomach by producing carbon dioxide which results in reduction of irritation in stomach and intestine.
Q. Is Sodium Bicarbonate harmful?
Sodium Bicarbonate is safe if used as a medication and as prescribed by the doctor. However, excess of Sodium Bicarbonate can disturb the fine balance of electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, carbonate, etc.) that is needed by the body to function properly. As a result, it can cause unwanted side effects. Therefore, to avoid such disturbances, Sodium Bicarbonate is usually prescribed for maximum of 2 weeks when taken orally as taking it in excess can cause transient alkalosis, which can be harmful.
Q. What if I take excess of Sodium Bicarbonate?
Excess of Sodium Bicarbonate causes alkalosis (excessive blood alkalinity) which can be observed as mood changes, tiredness, slow breathing, muscle weakness and irregular heartbeat. Muscle hypertonicity, twitching and tetany may develop, especially in patients with low levels of calcium in blood.

Polyethylene Glycol

Q. What is Polyethylene Glycol used for?
Polyethylene Glycol is a medicine used to treat constipation and for intestine preparation before surgical procedures. It works by pulling more water into the intestines, which is called osmosis. When there is more water in the intestines, the stool becomes softer or even watery and is easier to pass.
Q. What are the side effects of Polyethylene Glycol?
The side effects of Polyethylene Glycol are stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. However, these are usually not bothersome, but if they do not resolve, please consult your doctor.
Q. How long does Polyethylene Glycol take to work?
Polyethylene Glycol usually takes 2 to 3 days to start working. It works by increasing the fluid in the small intestine, thus making stools softer and easier to pass. As a result, a bowel movement is stimulated by causing a watery diarrhea.
