What is Potassium Bicarbonate?

Potassium Bicarbonate is a generic, over-the-counter medication that is primarily used as an antacid, a dietary supplement, or in combination with other ingredients in electrolyte replenishment products. Potassium Bicarbonate is the active ingredient in the over-the-counter antacid, Effer-K.

Potassium Bicarbonate is not easily found in any of these applications. Calcium carbonate is much more widely used in antacids to buffer stomach acid. Dietary supplements and electrolyte replenishment products more commonly use potassium chloride. Prescription potassium is more likely to contain potassium chloride, potassium citrate, or potassium phosphate, depending on the condition being treated.

As an antacid, Potassium Bicarbonate is used to treat heartburn (acid reflux), indigestion, and other non-ulcer stomach pains. These conditions are caused by excess stomach acid. Potassium Bicarbonate neutralizes the acid in the stomach which reduces the acid's effect on the body.

What are the side effects of Potassium Bicarbonate?

Common side effects of Potassium Bicarbonate include but are not limited to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and gas.
