Antiacidotic means of systemic action.
1 ml of a 7.2% solution (2 ml of a 3.6% solution) is equivalent to 1 mmol of sodium bicarbonate.
Unlike sodium bicarbonate does not increase the concentration of CO2 in blood.
It is mandatory to monitor the glucose and blood electrolytes, acid-base state.
To avoid the development of side effects should be administered slowly. Rapid administration (up to 60 ml / min) is permissible in exceptional cases (cardiac arrest).
When ingestion is not absorbed, it acts as a salt laxative.
It is an organic amine acceptor of protons; are used as a alkalizing agent for the treatment of metabolic acidosis.
Acts as a weak osmotic diuretic.
They are used mainly in cardiac bypass operations (including to reduce the acidity of citrated blood in shunting operations).
Dosing depends on body weight and base deficiency, to increase the pH of the blood to normal values, the minimum required dose should be administered (intravenously slowly in the form of 0.3 M solution).
Do not administer for longer than one day (other than life-threatening conditions).
Trometamol citrate is prescribed internally for the treatment of urinary stones and acidosis. Trometamol acephillinate is also used in acidosis.
