About Aulcer OS Syrup

Aulcer OS Syrup is used to treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers. It also treats hyperacidity, heartburn, indigestion, and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach). Ulcers or sores of the stomach region are called gastric ulcers, while the duodenum ulcer is known as a duodenal ulcer.

Aulcer OS Syrup is a combination of Sucralfate and Oxetacaine. Sucralfate 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 duodenum. Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby providing relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.

Some people may experience common side effects like constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Aulcer OS Syrup or active and inactive ingredients present on it, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Aulcer OS Syrup. Aulcer OS Syrup should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Aluminium-containing antacids and Aulcer OS Syrup could lead to constipation and intestinal obstruction.
