About SUCRACID SUSPENSION 200ML

SUCRACID SUSPENSION 200ML belongs to a gastrointestinal class of drugs called 'ulcer protectants' primarily 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). Ulcer or sores of the stomach region is called gastric ulcer, while ulcer of the duodenum is known as duodenal ulcer.

SUCRACID SUSPENSION 200ML 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.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Duodenal ulcer: It is a sore that forms in the lining of the small intestine just beyond the stomach (duodenum). The stomach makes a strong acid that kills germs and helps you digest food. To protect themselves against this acid, duodenum cells make a barrier from mucus. If this barrier is damaged, an ulcer can form. The main cause of this barrier damage is infection with bacteria (H. pylori), medicines like NSAIDs or painkillers (aspirin, ibuprofen). If you have a duodenum ulcer, you might have symptoms like have pain in the stomach or abdomen (this might come and go and is relieved by taking an antacid), indigestion, nauseous, feeling full after taking a small amount of food, bloody or black stools.
