Aspirin (ASA) is associated with hyperuricemia.

I assume ASA is in Alka Seltzer....they don't tell people that in the commercials tho.....you think it is just plop plop fizz fizz.

I know it is basic, not acidic....aware of that, just concerned about how much bicarb she is ingesting on a daily basis.

I can't say how sodium bicarb ingested orally affects uremic acid if at all.

I did not find how much ASA is in the stuff. I imagine medscape drug reference has it.

I have no idea what Cathie's drug profile is, other than she is taking Alka Seltzer....that is pertinent.
