SODIUM BICARBONATE - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Aspirin interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate intravenously might increase how quickly the body breaks down and excretes aspirin. This might lower the effects of aspirin. Aspirin and sodium bicarbonate should be taken separately.

Cefpodoxime Proxetil (Vantin) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate with the antibiotic cefpodoxime reduces the concentrations of cefodoxime in the body. This might reduce how well the antibiotic works.

Chlorpropamide (Diabinese) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate with the antidiabetes drug chlorpropamide (Diabinese) increases how quickly the body gets rid of chlorpropamide (Diabinese). This might reduce how well the antidiabetes drug works.

Water pills (Potassium-sparing diuretics) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate can decrease potassium levels in the body. "Water pills" can also decrease potassium in the body. Taking sodium bicarbonate along with "water pills" might decrease potassium in the body too much. Some "water pills" that can deplete potassium include hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), bumetanide (Bumex), colchicine (Colcrys), calcium- or magnesium-containing antacids (Milk of Magnesia, Tums), and many others.

PSEUDOEPHEDRINE (Sudafed) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate intravenously (by IV) might reduce how quickly the body breaks down pseudoephedrine. This might increase pseudoephedrine levels in the body and increase the risk of developing pseudoephedrine toxicity.

Medications for asthma (Beta-adrenergic agonists) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate can decrease potassium levels in the body. Beta- adrenergic agonists can also decrease potassium in the body. In theory, taking sodium bicarbonate along with beta-adrenergic agonists might decrease potassium in the body too much. Potassium supplements might be necessary. Some beta-2 agonists include albuterol (salbutamol, Proventil, Ventolin), bitolterol (Tornalate), isoetharine, levalbuterol (Xopenex), metaproterenol (Alupent), pirbuterol (Maxair), salmeterol (Serevent), and terbutaline (Brethine).

Medications for inflammation (Corticosteroids) interacts with SODIUM BICARBONATE

Taking sodium bicarbonate can decrease potassium levels in the body. Glucocorticoids can also decrease potassium in the body. It is most common with hydrocortisone (Cortef, Hydrocortone, Solu-Cortef), cortisone (Cortone), and fludrocortisone (Florinef), followed by prednisone (Deltasone) and prednisolone (Delta-Cortef). Glucocorticoids that might not decrease potassium as much are betamethasone (Celestone), dexamethasone (Decadron), methylprednisolone (Medrol, Depo-Medrol, Solu-Medrol), and triamcinolone (Aristocort, Kenalog). In theory, taking sodium bicarbonate along with some glucocorticoids might decrease potassium in the body too much. Potassium supplements might be necessary.
