Sucrafil Sugar Free Suspension is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers. It 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. Some people may experience common side effects like constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhoea. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Medicinal Benefits

Sucrafil Sugar Free Suspension 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). Sucrafil Sugar Free Suspension  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. Sucrafil Sugar Free Suspension  exhibits a cytoprotective effect and forms a viscous, adhesive barrier on the surface of the intact intestinal mucosa and the stomach. Sucrafil Sugar Free Suspension stimulates the synthesis and release of gastric mucosal prostaglandins, bicarbonate, and the epidermal growth factor, which promotes healing.
