Lecicarbon Pediatrickí Pacienti (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate)

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, the active ingredients in Lecicarbon Pediatrickí Pacienti, are buffering agents presented as an unspecified strength and rectal formulation for pediatric use. They help correct gastrointestinal acid‑base disturbances in children requiring rectal administration by supplying bicarbonate and phosphate ions that neutralize excess acidity and support normal pH balance.

GNH India supplies Lecicarbon Pediatrickí Pacienti as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Lecicarbon Pediatrickí provides rectal buffering for pediatric patients with conditions affecting acid‑base balance.

  • Metabolic acidosis (gastrointestinal): restores normal gastric pH and reduces acidity.
  • Renal tubular acidosis (pediatric): supplies bicarbonate to counteract systemic acid load.
  • Diarrhea‑associated acidosis: buffers excess intestinal acid to improve comfort and electrolyte stability.

How It Works

  • The formulation releases bicarbonate and phosphate ions directly into the rectal lumen, where they combine with hydrogen ions to form water and carbonic acid, thereby raising the local pH. This buffering action reduces acidity in the gastrointestinal tract and contributes to systemic correction of acid‑base disturbances in pediatric patients.

Side Effects

Lecicarbon Pediatrickí may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Rectal irritation or mild burning sensation.
  • Abdominal discomfort or cramping.
  • Nausea or mild vomiting.
  • Flatulence or transient diarrhea.
  • Mild electrolyte imbalance (e.g., slight sodium shift).
  • Transient headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe electrolyte disturbances such as hypernatremia or hypophosphatemia.
  • Severe abdominal pain or colitis.
  • Allergic reactions including rash, itching, or anaphylaxis.
  • Persistent vomiting or dehydration.
  • Acute renal impairment in susceptible patients.

Precautions & Warnings

When prescribing Lecicarbon Pediatrickí, consider the following precautions:

  • Age restriction: use only in pediatric patients as directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Renal impairment: monitor renal function and electrolyte levels closely.
  • Electrolyte disorders: avoid in patients with existing hypernatremia or severe phosphate imbalance.
  • Concurrent acidifying agents: use with caution as they may reduce buffering efficacy.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; use only if potential benefit justifies the risk.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Lecicarbon Pediatrickí can interact with other medications that affect acid‑base balance or electrolyte status.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong acidifying agents (e.g., ammonium chloride): may negate buffering effect.
  • Intravenous sodium bicarbonate: risk of excessive alkalinization.
  • High‑dose phosphate binders: may cause phosphate overload.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): may alter sodium and potassium balance.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: monitor for changes in potassium levels.
  • Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: may affect absorption of the buffering agents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lecicarbon Pediatrickí is a rectally administered buffering agent designed for pediatric patients who need correction of gastrointestinal acid‑base disturbances. It supplies bicarbonate and phosphate ions to neutralize excess acidity, helping to restore normal pH balance in the digestive tract.

Both compounds dissociate to release bicarbonate and phosphate ions. These ions bind hydrogen ions in the rectal lumen, forming water and carbonic acid, which raises the local pH. The resulting buffering effect reduces acidity and supports systemic acid‑base homeostasis in children.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the child’s age, weight, clinical condition, and laboratory values. Healthcare providers calculate the exact amount needed to achieve the desired buffering effect and adjust it according to response and safety monitoring.

Safety data for use in pregnancy or lactation are limited. The product should only be used if the potential benefit to the mother or child outweighs any possible risk. Consultation with a specialist obstetrician or pediatrician is recommended before prescribing.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and import documentation.

Unlike oral sodium bicarbonate solutions, Lecicarbon Pediatrickí is formulated for rectal delivery, which can be advantageous when oral intake is limited or rapid local buffering is needed. It combines both bicarbonate and phosphate, offering a broader buffering capacity compared with single‑component agents.

Store the product below 25 °C in its original container, protecting it from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging remains sealed until use, and keep it out of reach of children. No refrigeration is required for this rectal formulation.

The medication is given rectally, typically as a suppository or enema. The caregiver inserts the prescribed amount into the rectum according to the instructions provided by the healthcare professional, ensuring proper positioning and hygiene to maximize absorption and comfort.

Serious adverse events include severe electrolyte disturbances such as hypernatremia or hypophosphatemia, severe abdominal pain or colitis, and allergic reactions that may progress to anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop.

The product should be avoided in children with known hypersensitivity to sodium bicarbonate or phosphate salts, those with severe hypernatremia, marked phosphate imbalance, or certain renal conditions where electrolyte handling is compromised. Contraindications must be confirmed by the prescribing clinician.
