How does Sucragel Suspension work?

Accepted Answer

Sucragel 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 acid, allowing it to heal.

Sucragel Suspension may cause side effects like constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Question 4

Can Sucragel Suspension cause constipation?

Yes, Sucragel Suspension can cause constipation. Eat a proper, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of fluid to avoid it. Prefer food enriched with fibres and salads in your daily diet to cope with constipation.

Question 5

Can I stop using Sucragel Suspension on my own?

Accepted Answer

Do not stop taking Sucragel Suspension without consulting your doctor. The duodenal ulcer tends to be a recurrent disease. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Question 6

What are you not supposed to take with Sucragel Suspension ?

Accepted Answer

Do not take aspirin and ibuprofen while you are taking Sucragel Suspension unless your doctor advises. These pain killers increase the secretion of stomach acid and exacerbate gastrointestinal bleeding. Besides this, avoid acid-containing food/drinks, coffee, tea, carbonated drinks and vegetables like lemon, tomato, etc.
