Sodium bicarbonate tablets are effective in the treatment of hyperuricemia, but they cannot directly reduce blood uric acid levels.
Sodium bicarbonate belongs to alkaline drugs, and can not directly reduce blood uric acid, but it can alkalize the urine, so that uric acid is not easy to accumulate in the urine to become crystalline. If a large amount of sodium bicarbonate is taken for a long period of time, it may lead to symptoms such as metabolic alkalosis or edema.
To reduce blood uric acid, patients should pay attention to a low purine diet in daily life, limit the consumption of alcohol and fructose-rich beverages, and increase water intake to promote the excretion of uric acid. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor to standardize the use of uric acid-lowering drug therapy, including inhibition of uric acid production and promote excretion of drugs.
1. Inhibit uric acid production drugs: such as allopurinol, through the inhibition of xanthine oxidase to play a role, can be seen such as itching, rash, liver enzyme abnormalities and other adverse reactions, long-term use of drugs need to be regularly tested blood test, liver function and other indicators.
2. Promote uric acid excretion drugs: such as benzbromarone, can inhibit the reabsorption of uric acid in the renal tubules to play a role in promoting excretion; should start with a small dose of drugs, adverse reactions, such as gastrointestinal reactions, allergic dermatitis, etc., combined with the gout stone or urinary tract stones, etc. Patients with gout stone or urinary tract stones, etc., prohibited the use of this drug.
If the blood uric acid is found to be too high, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital to check and perfect the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor to develop a treatment plan, do not blindly use drugs.
