High-purity sodium bicarbonate is used as an alkali in the pharmaceutical industry. Sodium bicarbonate is vital in producing effervescent antacids, analgesic tablets and powders, vitamin supplements, injectable powders, toothpaste, and antacid gel formulations. It is also a buffering agent, providing bicarbonate ions to balance the pH during blood purification.
