While "bicarbonates" refers chemically to salts of carbonic acid containing the bicarbonate anion rather than a distinct standalone FDA Established Pharmacologic Class, bicarbonate agents—predominantly sodium bicarbonate—function therapeutically as systemic alkalinizers, urinary alkalinizers, and antacids.
They act by neutralizing excess gastric acid in the stomach and dissociating into bicarbonate ions that buffer hydrogen ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid and raise systemic and urinary pH.
Consequently, these agents are primarily indicated for the acute management of clinically significant metabolic acidosis, the enhancement of renal elimination in specific toxicologic ingestions, and the symptomatic relief of acid indigestion and heartburn.
