Acmesod 8.4 %w/v Injection 25 ml is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis 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. Acmesod 8.4 %w/v 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.

• Stay hydrated.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. 
• Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.
• Include foods rich in nutrients and potassium.
• Eat small, frequent meals slowly if you have diarrhoea.

• False positive Labstix for urine protein may result due to the high urinary alkalinity produced by sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, inform the person doing the tests that you are on treatment with Acmesod 8.4 %w/v Injection 25 ml.
• Regular monitoring of serum electrolyte concentration is advised.

Metabolic acidosis: It is an electrolyte disorder characterised by an acid-base imbalance in the body. The main causes of metabolic acidosis are loss of bicarbonate, increased acid production, and lowered ability of the kidney to excrete excess acids.

Drug intoxication: Drug intoxication is a condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance and results in disturbances in the level of consciousness, perception, cognition, behaviour, or other psychophysiological responses and functions.

Diarrhoea: It occurs when there is a frequent need to empty the bowels, characterised by loose and watery stools. The causes of diarrhoea include food intolerance, food allergy, adverse reaction to a medicine, viral infection, bacterial infection, intestinal disease, parasitic infection, and stomach or gallbladder surgery. The symptoms of diarrhoea include nausea, abdominal pain, cramps, dehydration and bloating, frequent urge to empty the bowels, and a large volume of stools or watery stools.
