Sodium bicarbonate 600mg is an oral medicine with acid-neutralising and alkalising properties. It reacts with stomach acid to help relieve acid indigestion and heartburn. Under medical supervision, it can also be used to correct metabolic acidosis or alkalinise urine when clinically indicated.
The appropriate dose and duration depend on the condition being treated. Regular use should be medically supervised because sodium bicarbonate increases sodium intake and can affect the body’s acid–base and electrolyte balance.
