The dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Different strengths of this medication contain the same amount of sodium bicarbonate in each dose. Do not take double of any strength (e.g., two 20 milligram packets) without your doctor's approval since this may give you too much sodium bicarbonate, increasing the risk of side effects (e.g., swelling of hands/feet).
Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Continue to take this medication for the prescribed length of treatment, even if you are feeling better.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
