Sucrafil O Gel

Description

What It Is

Sucrafil O Gel is a sugar-free oral gel combining two key ingredients:

• Sucralfate (500 mg per 5 ml) — a cytoprotective agent that forms a protective layer over gastric and duodenal ulcers, facilitating healing by shielding damaged mucosa from acid and irritants, and stimulating prostaglandin E₂ and mucus-bicarbonate production

• Oxetacaine (10 mg per 5 ml) — a local anesthetic that quickly soothes pain and discomfort in the gastrointestinal lining

Indications & Benefits

Sucrafil O Gel is indicated for:

• Relief of acidity and heartburn

• Treatment and prevention of gastric and duodenal ulcers

• Symptomatic relief from GERD, gastritis, and acid-induced pain

Mechanism of Action:

• Forms a protective gel barrier over ulcerated areas

• Shields mucosa from acid, pepsin, and bile

• Provides immediate pain relief via local anesthesia

• Initiates ulcer healing through enhanced mucosal defense mechanisms

Dosage & Administration

• Typical dose: 10 ml, taken 3–4 times daily, 1 hour before meals—or as directed by a physician

• Always shake well before use and measure with an accurate cup or dropper

• For consistency, try to take it at similar times each day

Safety, Side Effects & Warnings

Common side effects include:

• Constipation

• Drowsiness or dizziness

• Dry mouth, nausea, headache

• Occasionally, blurred vision or diarrhea

Precautions:

• May cause drowsiness or dizziness—avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you

• Not enough safety data for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding—consult a healthcare provider first
