1. What Sosa Torres Muñoz Sodium Bicarbonate is and what it is used for

Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid with activity that neutralizes excess acid in the stomach.

It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of heartburn and stomach acid in adults and adolescents from 12 years old.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or symptoms persist for more than 7 days of treatment.

  • If you have a tendency to form edema (fluid retention).
  • If you have appendicitis or its symptoms (nausea, vomiting, cramps, abdominal pain).
  • If you have intestinal obstruction (partial or total blockage of the intestine that produces an interruption of the passage of intestinal contents through it).

Warnings and precautions

If it worsens, symptoms persist for more than 7 days, or other symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor, as this medicine, like other antacids, may mask the symptoms of a more serious stomach disease.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Sosa Torres Muñoz Sodium Bicarbonate tablets if you have: hypertension (high blood pressure), liver, kidney, or heart disease, and in patients with diuretic treatment or low-sodium diets.

Interaction with analytical tests

If you are going to have any diagnostic tests (including blood tests, urine tests, detection of gastric acid secretion, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine, as it may alter the results.

Children and adolescents

Children under 12 years old should not take this medicine.

Taking Sosa Torres Muñoz Sodium Bicarbonate with other medicines

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine.

Especially if you are being treated with:

  • ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections)
  • quinolones, tetracyclines, acid forms of sulfonamide, erythromycin, methenamine (different classes of antibiotics)
  • iron salts (medicines used to prevent or treat anemia)
  • naproxen, salicylates (used to treat pain and fever)
