About Pepsigard 1G Tablet
Pepsigard 1G Tablet is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal 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.
Pepsigard 1G Tablet 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's acid, allowing it to heal.

Key Benefits
Pepsigard 1G Tablet is a class of anti-ulcer drugs prescribed for treating or preventing the return of duodenal ulcers (ulcers located in the first part of the small intestines). Pepsigard 1G Tablet works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer to pepsin and bile and inhibits the diffusion of gastric acid. This protects the ulcer from the stomach's acid, allowing it to heal. Pepsigard 1G Tablet exhibits a cytoprotective effect and forms a viscous, adhesive barrier on the surface of the intact intestinal mucosa and the stomach.
