What is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate?

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, the active ingredients in Lecicarbon Junior, are antacid and laxative agents presented as a rectal solution for rectal use. They neutralize excess gastric acid and provide a phosphate‑based osmotic effect to relieve heartburn and ease constipation in adults and children as directed by a healthcare professional.

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

What is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate used for?

Lecicarbon Junior acts on the digestive system to alleviate acid‑related discomfort and promote bowel movements.

Heartburn: rapid neutralisation of gastric acid provides relief of acid reflux symptoms. Constipation: phosphate‑driven osmotic activity draws water into the rectum, facilitating soft stool passage. Acid indigestion: reduces acidity in the stomach, easing discomfort after meals.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lecicarbon Junior used for?+
Lecicarbon Junior is an over‑the‑counter rectal solution that combines sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate to provide rapid relief from heartburn and to act as an osmotic laxative for occasional constipation.
How does sodium hydrogen carbonate work in this product?+
Sodium hydrogen carbonate neutralises excess gastric hydrogen ions, raising stomach pH and reducing acidity, which alleviates heartburn. In the rectum, sodium dihydrogen phosphate creates an osmotic gradient that draws water into the bowel, softening stool and promoting evacuation.
What is the usual dose of Lecicarbon Junior?+
The appropriate dose of Lecicarbon Junior is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

What are the most serious risks associated with Lecicarbon Junior?+
Serious risks include severe rectal bleeding, electrolyte disturbances such as hyperphosphatemia, and allergic reactions that may manifest as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.
Who should not use Lecicarbon Junior?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using Lecicarbon Junior.
