One ZEGERID Capsule contains 304 mg of sodium in the form of sodium bicarbonate. One unit-dose packet of ZEGERID Powder for Oral Suspension contains 460 mg of sodium in the form of sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is contraindicated in patients with metabolic alkalosis and hypocalcemia. Sodium bicarbonate should be used with caution in patients with Bartter’s Syndrome, hypokalemia, respiratory alkalosis, and problems with acid-base balance. Long-term administration of bicarbonate with calcium or milk can cause milk-alkali syndrome.
