Lacrate Suspension is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers.

Lacrate Suspension 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.
