Carbcid Injection 25 ml is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis caused due to diabetes, hepatitis, starvation, shock, cardiac arrest, renal insufficiency, severe dehydration, severe primary lactic acidosis, Addison’s disease or administration of acidic drugs and other conditions requiring systemic alkalinisation. It is also used to increase urinary pH to increase the solubility of certain weak acids, in treatment of certain intoxications to decrease renal absorption of the drug, severe diarrhoea accompanied by loss of bicarbonate, and poisoning by salicylates or methyl alcohol. Carbcid Injection 25 ml may also be used to treat patients who have taken too many tricyclic antidepressants only after other resuscitation methods have been attempted. Carbcid Injection 25 ml acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. Thereby reducing the acid in the blood. Carbcid Injection 25 ml helps reduce the amount of acid in the body after a heart attack in patients who have too much potassium in their blood or too much acid.

Is Carbcid Injection 25 ml used to treat metabolic acidosis?

Carbcid Injection 25 ml is used to treat metabolic acidosis caused due to diabetes, hepatitis, starvation, shock, cardiac arrest, renal insufficiency, severe dehydration, severe primary lactic acidosis, Addison’s disease or administration of acidic drugs. Metabolic acidosis is an electrolyte disorder characterised by an acid-base imbalance in the body.

How does Carbcid Injection 25 ml help in severe diarrhoea?

Carbcid Injection 25 ml is indicated in severe diarrhoea, which is often accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate. Carbcid Injection 25 ml helps by compensating for the lost bicarbonate ions.

Is Carbcid Injection 25 ml used to treat drug intoxications?

Carbcid Injection 25 ml is indicated for treating certain drug intoxication, such as barbiturates (in cases where barbiturate-protein complex dissociation is desired). Carbcid Injection 25 ml may also be used to treat patients who have taken too many tricyclic antidepressants only after other resuscitation methods have been attempted.

Is Carbcid Injection 25 ml used in poisoning?

Carbcid Injection 25 ml is used in poisoning by methyl alcohol or salicylates and in haemolytic reactions that require the alkalinisation of urine to lower the nephrotoxicity of haemoglobin and its by-products.
