NODOSIS SUSP 1X300ML

About

NODOSIS Suspension is an oral alkalizing agent primarily utilized for the correction of metabolic acidosis and for urinary alkalization. Its active components typically include sodium bicarbonate or a citrate salt, which, upon ingestion, increase the bicarbonate concentration in the blood and subsequently in the urine. This elevation in bicarbonate levels effectively neutralizes excess acid in the body, restoring physiological pH balance. In the urinary system, this action raises the urine pH, which is beneficial in preventing the formation and aiding the dissolution of uric acid and cystine kidney stones. Additionally, it can be used as an adjunct in certain drug intoxications to enhance the renal excretion of acidic drugs. NODOSIS Suspension thus plays a vital role in maintaining systemic and urinary acid-base homeostasis, contributing to improved patient outcomes in various clinical scenarios.
