Description
Sucrafil O Gel is a medicine used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It contains sucralfate and oxetacaine, two active ingredients that work together to soothe existing ulcers, protect the stomach lining, and provide relief from acidity and heartburn. By forming a protective barrier over the ulcers, this medicine allows faster healing and helps reduce irritation caused by stomach acid.
Your doctor may prescribe Sucrafil O Gel if you are experiencing symptoms of acidity, a burning sensation in the chest, or pain related to stomach ulcers. It is essential to take this medicine exactly as directed, typically one hour before meals, for optimal results. Avoid taking it without consulting a doctor, as the dose and duration of treatment depend on your health condition.
When using Sucrafil O Gel, you should avoid alcohol, smoking, and caffeine, as they can increase stomach acid and worsen symptoms. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and eating a light, balanced diet will support faster recovery. Foods that trigger acidity, such as spicy or oily meals, should be avoided during treatment.
Some people may experience mild side effects while taking Sucrafil O Gel, the most common being constipation. Drinking plenty of fluids, eating fibre-rich foods, and staying physically active can help reduce this problem. If constipation becomes severe or persistent, it is important to consult your doctor.
Sucrafil O Sugar-free Gel, Macralfate O Sugar-free Gel, and Sucrace O Suspension are other medicines that also contain sucralfate and oxetacaine. While these medicines work in a similar way, they should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective treatment with Sucrafil O Gel.
