Sucral O Suspension
Description
Sucral-O suspension is a medicine used for the treatment of stomach and intestinal ulcers and to prevent their recurrence. It also helps manage pain, acidity after meals, heartburn, and irritation caused by acid reflux or inflammation of the stomach lining. The suspension contains sucralfate and oxetacaine as its active ingredients. Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over the ulcer surface, promoting healing, while oxetacaine works as a local anesthetic to provide relief from pain and burning sensation in the stomach.
Your doctor will prescribe Sucral-O suspension in the right dose and duration based on your condition. It is usually recommended to take it one hour before meals or as advised. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the prescribed dose with the provided measuring cup for accuracy. Do not exceed the recommended dose and avoid taking it without consulting a healthcare professional.
Sucral-O suspension is also available in other brands such as Sucrafil O Sugar-free gel, Macralfate O Sugar-free gel, and Sucrace O suspension, which contain the same combination of sucralfate and oxetacaine. These medications are prescribed for similar conditions and provide relief from acid reflux, ulcers, and associated discomfort.
Before starting Sucral-O suspension, make sure to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy. Additionally, please share your complete medical history, including any history of kidney disease, swallowing difficulties, or gastrointestinal bleeding. This will help your doctor determine whether this medicine is safe and suitable for you.
For optimal results, follow a healthy diet and lifestyle in conjunction with this medicine. Avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods that may worsen acidity or ulcer symptoms. Eat smaller meals at regular intervals, stay hydrated, and avoid smoking or alcohol, as these can delay healing and worsen stomach irritation. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, consult your doctor promptly.
