Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Nodosis Tablet works primarily by providing a source of bicarbonate ions to the body. Nodosis Tablet neutralizes the acidity in stomach, providing relief from the discomfort of acid reflux or heartburn. It can help temporarily increase the pH of the blood, making it less acidic. This property can be useful in certain medical situations, such as metabolic acidosis, where the body becomes too acidic due to conditions like kidney dysfunction or severe dehydration. Nodosis Tablet may also help in cases where the urine needs to be less acidic, such as when trying to promote the excretion of certain drugs or when managing certain urinary tract conditions.


Pharmacokinets

After administration, intravenous sodium bicarbonate dissociates to form sodium (Na) and bicarbonate (HCO3). Bicarbonate anions can consume hydrogen ions (H) and subsequently convert to carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid subsequently converts to water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) for excretion from the lungs.
