• Sucraz-O Sugar Free Gel 200 ml is a combination of two medicines: Sucralfate (anti-ulcer) and Oxetacaine (Local anaesthetic).
• Sucralfate works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer to pepsin and bile and inhibiting gastric acid diffusion.
• This protects the ulcer from the acid of the stomach, allowing it to heal.
• It exhibits a cytoprotective effect and forms a viscous, adhesive barrier on the intact intestinal mucosa and stomach surface.
• It also stimulates the synthesis and release of gastric mucosal prostaglandins and bicarbonate and the epidermal growth factor that stimulates healing and formation of new healthy skin.
• Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby providing relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
• It does not lose its activity even in strongly acidic conditions and provides prolonged anaesthetic action.
