Yomfate Suspension is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers. An ulcer is a sore on the stomach's lining or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

Yomfate Suspension 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. Most of these side effects of Yomfate Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Yomfate Suspension if you are allergic to any of its components. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health conditions and medications to prevent any potential interactions.
