Sodac Injection 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. Sodac Injection may also be used to treat patients who have taken too many tricyclic antidepressants only after other resuscitation methods have been attempted. Sodac Injection acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. Thereby reducing the acid in the blood. Sodac Injection 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.

FAQs

How does Sodac Injection work?

Sodac Injection acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. It reduces the acid in the blood.

Is Sodac Injection used to treat metabolic acidosis?

Sodac Injection 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 Sodac Injection help in severe diarrhoea?

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

Is Sodac Injection used to treat drug intoxications?

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

Is Sodac Injection used in poisoning?

Sodac Injection 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.
