About Ancool-SF Suspension

Ancool-SF Suspension is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the stomach's lining or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). An ulcer or sores of the stomach region is called a gastric ulcer, while an ulcer of the duodenum is known as a duodenal ulcer.

Ancool-SF Suspension contains 'Sucralfate', which works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer, thus protecting the ulcer from the stomach's acid, allowing it to heal.

Ancool-SF Suspension may cause common side effects like constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Ancool-SF Suspension . Avoid taking any antacids like magnesium hydroxide or aluminium hydroxide within 30 minutes before or after taking Ancool-SF Suspension .

Health Queries

Is Ancool-SF Suspension effective against H. pylori infections?

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Ancool-SF Suspension is primarily used for the treatment of stomach and intestinal ulcers. It works by forming a protective coating over ulcerated areas, shielding them from gastric acid and helping promote healing. However, it is ineffective against H. pylori infection. If H. pylori infection is suspected or confirmed, doctor-prescribed antibiotic therapy is required for eradication. Ancool-SF may be used as a supportive medicine alongside antibiotics, but it should not be used as a standalone treatment for H. pylori.
