Benefits of Sodafix-EC Tablet
In Treatment of Indigestion
Indigestion is a feeling of discomfort or a burning sensation in the upper part of your stomach. It also causes stomach pain and a feeling of fullness. Sodafix-EC 500 Tablet treats indigestion and thus gives relief from its symptoms by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. Sodafix-EC 500 Tablet also gives relief from excess gas by breaking trapped gas and allows its easy passage. Take Sodafix-EC 500 Tablet as prescribed by the doctor. Think about what foods trigger indigestion and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight, and try to find ways to relax. Avoid eating within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
In Treatment of Alkalinizing agent
Alkalinizing agents are medicines used to manage disorders associated with low pH. Sodafix-EC 500 Tablet is used to treat metabolic acidosis (a condition where there is too much acid in the body) due to kidney failure. It helps restore the lost electrolyte balance and raises the pH of the urine and blood. This prevents complications that may arise due to metabolic acidosis such as osteoporosis, kidney damage, weakening of muscles, fatigue etc. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. Follow your doctorโs instructions carefully to get the most benefit.

Sodafix-EC 500 Tablet acts as a buffer that helps neutralize excess acid and restore a healthier pH level.

This way it supports the proper functioning of various bodily systems and promotes overall health.
