Introduction About NODOSIS GST 500MG TABLET
Nodosis GST Tablet is an alkalinizing agent used to manage metabolic acidosis (excessive acid production in the body), certain intoxications, severe diarrhea, and haemolytic reactions requiring alkalinization of the urine. It contains sodium bicarbonate as an active ingredient that raises solution pH to combat the symptoms of acidosis.
Sodium bicarbonate works by increasing bicarbonate levels in plasma, decreasing excess hydrogen ion concentration, raising blood pH, and reversing the signs and symptoms of acidosis.

It is not recommended for use in patients who are losing chloride by vomiting or from continuous gastrointestinal suction, are on salt-restricted diet or when sodium administration could be clinically detrimental.
