Sodium bicarbonate has antacid properties.
Sodium bicarbonate causes neutralisation of gastric acid with the production of carbon dioxide. Any bicarbonate not involved in that reaction is absorbed and in the absence of a deficit of bicarbonate in the plasma, bicarbonate ions are excreted in the urine that is rendered alkaline and there is an accompanying diuresis.
