Nodosis Tablet is used for the management of metabolic acidosis associated with conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute renal failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe diarrhea, or shock. It helps delay CKD progression and improve overall survival.
Nodosis Tablet relieves irritation by producing carbon dioxide, which neutralizes the acid present in the stomach. It also increases the pH of blood and urine, thereby correcting acid indigestion, heartburn. Additionally, it helps in the removal of toxic substances from the body in certain types of poisoning.
Nodosis Tablet may be taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Excessive intake may cause an electrolyte imbalance, leading to unwanted side effects. Keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early, your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen.
Common side effects of this medicine include high sodium levels, cerebral edema, alkalosis, and hypokalemia. Let your doctor know if any of these side effects persist or get worse. They may be able to help by adjusting the dosage or by prescribing you an alternate medicine.
It is important to consult a doctor before taking Nodosis Tablet if you are suffering from stomach and kidney disease. Let your doctor also know about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

Benefits of Nodosis Tablet
In Management of Metabolic acidosis
Nodosis Tablet helps manage metabolic acidosis, a condition where the body produces too much acid or cannot remove it effectively, leading to a decrease in blood pH. This often occurs in people with chronic kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe dehydration, and can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and muscle weakness. Nodosis Tablet acts as an alkalinizing agent that neutralizes excess acid and restores the body’s normal pH balance. Correcting this imbalance improves breathing, relieves discomfort related to acid buildup.

How Nodosis Tablet works
Nodosis Tablet works primarily by providing a source of bicarbonate ions to the body. Nodosis Tablet neutralizes the acidity in the stomach, providing relief from the discomfort of acid reflux or heartburn. It can help temporarily increase the pH of the blood, making it less acidic. This property can be useful in certain medical situations, such as metabolic acidosis, where the body becomes too acidic due to conditions like kidney dysfunction or severe dehydration. Nodosis Tablet may also help in cases where the urine needs to be less acidic, such as when trying to promote the excretion of certain drugs or when managing certain urinary tract conditions.
