Uses of Zeelon 84 Inj 20ml Injection

Zeelon 84 Inj 20ml Injection is used to correct metabolic acidosis, a condition in which the blood becomes too acidic, which can happen with kidney disease, severe diarrhoea or certain poisonings. Injections are given in hospital for severe cases, while tablets may be prescribed in long-term kidney disease. Oral forms are also used for short-term relief of acidity and indigestion and to make the urine less acidic.

How Zeelon 84 Inj 20ml Injection works

Sodium bicarbonate is an alkali. In the stomach it neutralises acid, releasing carbon dioxide gas, which eases heartburn. Once absorbed it raises the bicarbonate level in the blood, which buffers excess acid, and some passes into the urine, making it less acidic.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Zeelon 84 Inj 20ml Injection are often related to the gas it produces in the stomach. The more common ones include:

• Bloating
• Belching or wind
• Stomach cramps
• Thirst
• Nausea

Get medical help quickly for muscle twitching or cramps, confusion, swelling of the ankles or legs, breathlessness, or severe stomach pain after taking it, and report any pain or swelling at an injection site.
