Sodamint 300 MG Description

Sodamint is an antacid. The active ingredient in it is sodium bicarbonate. It is used in cases of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Acidosis (increased acid production in the body). Its main action is to alkal

inise the body by neutralising hydrogen ions. When the acid produced in the stomach increases, symptoms such as heartburn are common, Sodamint helps neutralise the effects of this acid and gives quick relief. It is also given systemically if the blood pH drops too low, a condition known as Acidosis. Overdose of this tablet can have dangerous side effects. One should only use it in the prescribed dose. When prescribed in larger doses, regular monitoring is needed. If there is no relief after taking the medication, a physician's opinion is required to plan further treatment. It is not meant for chronic use. This drug is not safe during pregnancy or lactation. One must avoid consuming alcohol while on this drug. Always inform the doctor about any other medications (tablets or herbal) that you are on to ensure no interactions. This tablet is not recommended to those who are on a salt-restricted diet.

Q: I was taking Sodamint but it gave me a stomach ache. Does that mean I should stop the tablet?
