In Treatment of Alkalinizing agent

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 doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
