Sucrafil DS Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, stomach ulcers, and bloating. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and stomach ulcers. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air. Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.
Sucrafil DS Syrup contains Dimethicone, Sucralfate, and Simethicone. Dimethicone allows the food to move easily by increasing the movement/contractions of the stomach. It also helps prevent nausea and vomiting. Sucralfate protects the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and facilitates its healing. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Together, Sucrafil DS Syrup provides relief from acidity, bloating, and ulcers.
You are advised to take Sucrafil DS Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as dry mouth, constipation, diarrhoea, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Sucrafil DS Syrup may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Sucrafil DS Syrup as it could lead to increased acidity. Limited information is available regarding the usage of Sucrafil DS Syrup in children, so please consult a doctor if you have any concerns. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
