SUCRAGARD O SYP 100ML

About

This syrup combines Sucralfate with Oxetacaine, offering a comprehensive and dual-action approach to treating gastrointestinal ulcers and the associated pain. Sucralfate is a unique cytoprotective agent that, in the acidic environment of the stomach, polymerizes to form a viscous, adhesive gel. This gel selectively binds to ulcerated tissue, creating a robust protective barrier over the ulcer sites. This barrier shields the damaged mucosa from further assault by acid, pepsin, and bile salts, thereby promoting the natural healing process. It does not neutralize acid but rather provides a physical shield. Oxetacaine, a potent local anesthetic, provides rapid and temporary relief from the intense pain and discomfort commonly associated with gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastritis, and esophagitis. This synergistic combination ensures both immediate symptomatic relief and active therapeutic action, making it highly effective for managing painful upper gastrointestinal conditions.
