SOBISIS FORTE 10'S

About

SOBISIS FORTE primarily contains Sodium Bicarbonate, an antacid and an alkalinizing agent. It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid, providing rapid relief from symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. Beyond its antacid properties, sodium bicarbonate can also be used to treat metabolic acidosis, a condition where there is too much acid in the body fluids. In such cases, it helps to increase the pH of the blood, restoring the acid-base balance. It can also be used to alkalinize urine, which can be beneficial in certain urinary tract conditions or to enhance the excretion of certain drugs. Its action is relatively quick, making it effective for acute symptomatic relief of gastric hyperacidity. However, prolonged or excessive use can lead to electrolyte imbalances.
