Nucool O Bottle Of 100ml Suspension
Description
Nucool O is a prescription medication primarily used to manage and prevent peptic ulcer disease. Peptic ulcers disease is a common condition in which the stomach's inner lining, the first part of the
small intestine, i.e. duodenum or lower part of the oesophagus, gets eroded, producing ulcers that lead to pain symptoms associated with peptic ulcer disease. The symptoms can be pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting, belching, loss of appetite etc. Nucool O suspension is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients, Sucralfate and oxetacaine. Sucralfate is an aluminium salt of sucrose. It firms a film or a protective layer over the ulcer and prevents further damage and pain associated with peptic ulcers. Oxetacaine also relieves the pain associated with peptic ulcers. This medication has to be used only after its prescription by a doctor.
