About Lacrate Suspension

Lacrate 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.

Lacrate 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.

Lacrate 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 known to be allergic to any of the components in Lacrate Suspension, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Lacrate Suspension. Avoid taking any antacids like magnesium hydroxide or aluminium hydroxide within 30 minutes before or after taking Lacrate Suspension.
