Sodium Bicarbonate is part of the
Alkalinizing Agents and
Pet Medications classes and treats
Pet Meds and
Metabolic Acidosis.
Alkalinizing agents are used to treat conditions associated with a low pH in the body. Some medications can work to treat
gout and
kidney stones by neutralizing uric acid in the blood and urine to keep down inflammation of the joints, and to prevent the formation of stones in the kidney. Others like sodium bicarbonate are available without a prescription to ease
heartburn and
acid indigestion.
Pet meds are prescription and over-the-counter medicines for dogs, cats, and other animals. They treat animal-only conditions and those also found in humans, and come in forms and dosages specifically for pets. Sodium Bicarbonate is only available as a generic drug.
