Application notes:
The total dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

Type of application?

Duration of use?
The duration of use depends on the type of symptoms and/or the course of the disease. It should therefore be determined in consultation with your doctor.

overdose?
There are currently no known signs of overdose. If in doubt consult your doctor.

In general, pay attention to a conscientious dosage, especially for infants, small children and the elderly. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any effects or precautions.

A dosage prescribed by the doctor may deviate from the information on the package leaflet. Therefore, since the doctor adjusts them individually, you should use the medicine according to his instructions.

Mode of action:
How does the ingredient in the drug work?

The active ingredient is a salt that the body needs to maintain the neutral blood environment. If the pH value shifts into the acidic range, for example as a result of pulmonary or kidney dysfunction, a life-threatening situation can arise for the patient. The salt brings the disturbed balance back into balance. If severe diarrhea has deprived the body of the necessary salts, a solution that contains sodium bicarbonate, among other things, for example, will replenish the stores.


Contraindications:
What speaks against an application?

Always:
- Hypersensitivity to the ingredients
- Shift of the acid-base balance in the blood to the alkaline side (alkalosis)
- Potassium deficiency
- Elevated sodium levels

Under certain circumstances - talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this:
- Shortness of breath
- Calcium deficiency
- Hyperosmolar conditions (increased water inflow from the tissue into the bloodstream)
- Low-sodium diet, eg if table salt has to be avoided

What about pregnancy and breastfeeding?
- Pregnancy: consult your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the drug can be used during pregnancy.
- Breast-feeding: consult your doctor or pharmacist. He will examine your particular starting position and advise you accordingly as to whether and how you can continue breastfeeding.

If you have been prescribed the drug despite a contraindication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit can be higher than the risk that the use involves in the event of a contraindication.

Side effects:
What side effects can occur?

- Abdominal pain

If you notice any changes in your condition or changes during treatment, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

For the information at this point, side effects are primarily taken into account that occur in at least one in 1,000 patients treated.

- Be careful with allergies to peanuts, soy and legumes, possibly also to lupines (as flour in ready-made dough for pizza and rolls)!
