    Drug NaHCO3 650mg 2 tablets TID is an antiulcer alkanizing agent that releases bicarbonate ions following oral administration to neutralize gastric acid. It is indicated for treatment of ulcers but contraindicated in conditions causing metabolic or respiratory alkalosis, hypocalcemia, or excessive chloride loss. Adverse effects include metabolic alkalosis, mood changes, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, and hypokalemia. Nurses should monitor for fluid balance changes, symptoms of overload, ensure tablets are taken with water, and assess for hypernatremia and hypokalemia manifestations.
