CompositionSucral Suspension is a medicine used to treat and prevent duodenal ulcers and to manage symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastritis. It helps protect the stomach lining and supports healing of ulcers.
It contains sucralfate, a cytoprotective agent that forms a protective coating over the ulcer surface. Take it as prescribed by your doctor, ideally on an empty stomach at least one hour before meals. Swallow or shake the suspension well before use. Continue taking it for the full course advised, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the ulcer heals completely.
Avoid spicy, acidic, and fatty foods and caffeine during treatment, as these can irritate the stomach lining. Avoid alcohol and smoking, as both slow ulcer healing. Eat small, regular meals to reduce stomach acid and irritation.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney problems, as this medicine contains aluminium which may accumulate in people with impaired kidney function. Allow at least two hours between taking this suspension and other oral medicines, as sucralfate can affect their absorption. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use.
