Sodium bicarbonate tablets, whose main component is sodium bicarbonate, have the following primary functions and effects:
1. Antacid effect: Sodium bicarbonate tablets can neutralize acidic substances in the body, achieving an antacid effect. Particularly for patients with excessive gastric acid, these tablets can rapidly neutralize stomach acid, alleviating discomfort symptoms such as nausea and vomiting caused by excess gastric acid.
2. Relief of hyperuricemia: Sodium bicarbonate tablets promote the dissolution of uric acid in urine and its subsequent excretion from the body, thereby lowering blood uric acid concentration. They have a positive therapeutic effect on patients with hyperuricemia and gout.
3. Relief of hyperuricemia: Sodium bicarbonate tablets promote the dissolution of uric acid in urine and its subsequent excretion from the body, thereby lowering blood uric acid concentration. They have a positive therapeutic effect on patients with hyperuricemia and gout.
4. Urine alkalinization: After entering the body, sodium bicarbonate tablets react with acidic substances through a conjugate reaction, achieving the effect of alkalinizing urine. This helps improve uric acid-related symptoms caused by conditions such as uric acid kidney stones and renal tubular acidosis, and helps maintain the acid-base balance of urine.
