Oral sodium bicarbonate is used to treat metabolic acidosis in patients with renal tubular acidosis. Since infants and young children are unable to swallow tablets, those affected must ingest sodium bicarbonate in a powder or liquid form. Pharmacy-weighed sodium bicarbonate is expensive and inconvenient to obtain; some pharmacists are reluctant to provide it. We determined that the sodium bicarbonate contained in 8-oz boxes of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda was sufficiently constant in weight that, dissolved in water to a given volume, it yielded a quantitatively acceptable therapeutic solution of sodium bicarbonate at a cost of approximately 3 percent of that of pharmacy-weighed sodium bicarbonate. Grocery store baking soda can be a safe, economical, and convenient source of sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of chronic metabolic acidosis in infants and young children.
口服碳酸氢钠用于治疗肾小管酸中毒患者的代谢性酸中毒。由于婴幼儿无法吞咽片剂，患病儿童必须摄入粉末状或液体状的碳酸氢钠。药房称重的碳酸氢钠价格昂贵且获取不便；一些药剂师不愿提供。我们测定，8盎司盒装的“爱适易”小苏打粉中所含碳酸氢钠的重量足够恒定，将其溶于一定体积的水中，可得到定量上可接受的碳酸氢钠治疗溶液，其成本约为药房称重碳酸氢钠的3%。杂货店售卖的小苏打可为治疗婴幼儿慢性代谢性酸中毒提供安全、经济且方便的碳酸氢钠来源。
