Sodium benzoate is a common food additive that is widely used as a preservative in food and beverages. It can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi and extend the shelf life of food. In Hong Kong, sodium benzoate is commonly added to products such as juices, jams, canned foods and pickled foods.
Although sodium benzoate is a safe food additive, some people may be allergic or have an allergic reaction to it. People who are allergic to sodium benzoate may experience skin redness, swelling, difficulty breathing, or other allergy symptoms. If you experience any discomfort, you should immediately stop consuming foods containing sodium benzoate and seek medical assistance.
Overall, sodium benzoate is widely used in Hong Kong and is considered an effective food additive, but people who are allergic to it should be especially careful.
How to use: Use this medication as recommended by your physician or pharmacist. Typically, the medication is taken by mouth and is recommended with a meal to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. During use, you should avoid eating high-sodium foods, such as salted fish or salt-added foods, to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Also, avoid engaging in activities that require a high level of concentration, such as operating machinery or driving a vehicle.
Dosage Guidelines: The generally recommended starting dose for adults is 1 gram to 2 grams daily, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual circumstances, but each dose should not exceed 1 gram. The dosage for children should be adjusted according to age and weight. The recommended starting dose is 10 to 20 mg/kg daily, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses. During use, you should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on your own. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a physician immediately.
