Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate is part of the Pet Medications and Alkalinizing Agents classes and treats Pet Meds and Metabolic Acidosis. 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. 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. Sodium Bicarbonate is only available as a generic drug.
