MODE OF ACTION:
Intravenous sodium bicarbonate therapy increases plasma bicarbonate.

Sodium bicarbonate in water dissociates to provide sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. Sodium (Na+) is the principal cation of extracellular fluid and plays a large part in the therapy of fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Plasma concentration is regulated by the kidney through acidification of the urine when there is a deficit or by alkalinization of the urine when there is an excess.
INDICATIONS
