Sodamint Bottle Of 100 Tablets
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.

Interactions of Sodamint 300 MG
Interactions with other medicines
- Interacts with oral antibiotics: Affects the absorption of oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, levofloxacin, minocycline, tetracyclines due to changes in the gastric pH.
- Interacts with anti-inflammatory medications: Sodamint increases the levels of NSAIDs/other related anti-inflammatory medications, Mesalamine, and sulfasalazine by raising the renal tubular pH. This results in greater reabsorption of these drugs into the bloodstream....
- Interacts with medication that requires an acidic environment in the stomach to work: This medication can decrease the effectiveness of drugs like ampicillin, atazanavir, certain azole antifungals (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole), iron supplements, pazopanib, sucralfate, etc....
