Can sodium bicarbonate tablets be taken for a long time?

No, it can only be used temporarily. Long-term alkaline urine should be vegetarian and alkaline food.

Long-term use of sodium bicarbonate will:

1. Producing carbon dioxide gas is not good for the stomach;

2. Neutralizing gastric acid will stimulate gastric acid secretion and form dependence. Once the drug is stopped, it is easy to have gastric ulcer.

3. The increase of carbonate will cause electrolyte disorder;

Too much sodium intake is bad for the heart (just like eating salt).

Because the human body has adaptability, it may stimulate the secretion of a large number of acidic metabolites, and then sodium bicarbonate can not alkalize urine.
