Description

Sodium Bicarbonate PFS 8.4% Ped 10mL is a sterile, preservative-free solution used for the correction of metabolic acidosis and the treatment of conditions that lead to a decreased bicarbonate level in the blood. This solution contains 8.4% sodium bicarbonate, with a volume of 10 mL. It is primarily used in pediatric patients and is administered intravenously under medical supervision.

The primary application of Sodium Bicarbonate PFS 8.4% Ped is to address acidosis that can result from conditions such as renal disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe dehydration. The solution acts by increasing the blood’s bicarbonate concentration, neutralizing excess acids, and helping to restore the blood's normal pH balance.

Sodium bicarbonate should be administered cautiously as it can lead to electrolyte imbalances, fluid overload, or alkalosis if given improperly. Regular monitoring of blood gases, electrolytes, and kidney function is essential to avoid complications.
