What is Sodium Bicarbonate?

Sodium Bicarbonate, better known as baking soda, is an over-the-counter product that has several medical uses. Sodium Bicarbonate is used for treating heartburn (acid reflux), indigestion, and other non-ulcer stomach pains. These conditions are caused by excess stomach acid; for heartburn, stomach acid rises out of the stomach and into the esophagus. Sodium Bicarbonate neutralizes the acid in the stomach which reduces the acid's effect on the body.

Sodium Bicarbonate has a higher pH than calcium carbonate, found in Tums and other antacid products, so it is more effective at neutralizing stomach acid.

Sodium Bicarbonate is also used by itself or as an ingredient in toothpaste to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Cavities, or dental caries, are caused by acids secreted by bacteria that live on the teeth. The acid wears at the enamel of the tooth. As the tooth becomes pitted, more bacteria live in the pit and produce more acid. Baking soda neutralizes the acid and prevents it from wearing away at the enamel.

Sodium Bicarbonate is frequently prescribed to or injected into patients with severe kidney disease or cardiac arrest to neutralize excess acid in the blood, to patients with excess lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis), severe diarrhea, to treat barbiturate addiction, and other illnesses.
