About Sodac Injection

Sodac Injection is indicated in treating 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. 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 contains Sodium bicarbonate, which acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser, 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.

Sodac Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience specific common side effects, such as injection site reactions, irritability, muscle spasms, and low levels of potassium in the blood. You should talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding the usage of Sodac Injection in children. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Metabolic acidosis 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 kidney ability 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.
