    This document provides information about sodium bicarbonate, including its classification, actions, dosage, side effects, and nursing considerations. Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid and alkalinizer used to treat hyperacidity by buffering excess hydrogen ions and increasing plasma bicarbonate levels. It is available in tablet form for oral administration with dosages varying based on age. Potential side effects include changes in mood, irregular heartbeat, and dry mouth. Nurses should monitor sodium intake and watch for milk-alkali syndrome in patients on long-term therapy.
