Medicinal Benefits:
Dufcid Syrup is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers.
Dufcid Syrup contains Sucralfate, which works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer so that digestive enzymes, acid and bile salts cannot further irritate the lining of the stomach and duodenum. This protects the ulcer from the stomach acid, allowing it to heal.
Take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, if it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
Yes, Dufcid Syrup can cause constipation. Eat a proper, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of fluid to avoid it. Prefer food enriched with fibres and salads in your daily diet to cope with constipation.
Do not stop taking Dufcid Syrup without consulting your doctor. The duodenal ulcer tends to be a recurrent disease. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Do not take aspirin and ibuprofen while you are taking Dufcid Syrup unless your doctor advises. These pain killers increase the secretion of stomach acid and exacerbate gastrointestinal bleeding. Besides this, avoid acid-containing food/drinks, coffee, tea, carbonated drinks and vegetables like lemon, tomato, etc.
