Scarfate Sugar Free Suspension 200ml

Scarfate Sugar Free Suspension is an antacid/ulcer-protective liquid preparation. It contains sucralfate, which forms a protective coating over the damaged stomach or intestinal lining. This barrier shields the tissue from excess acid, enabling healing and reducing irritation. Because it is sugar-free, it is more suitable for patients who need to limit sugar intake (for example, diabetics).

Indications / Uses
This suspension is commonly used for:

• Active duodenal ulcers (short-term treatment)

• Gastritis and stomach ulcers

• Acid reflux (heartburn)

• Protecting the mucosa of the stomach and intestines from acid damage

• Alleviating symptoms such as burning, pain, and irritation in the upper gastrointestinal tract

How To Use

• Shake well before each use to ensure uniform consistency.

• Take on an empty stomach (ideally at least one hour before meals or at bedtime).

• Measure the dose accurately using a measuring cup, spoon, or oral syringe.

• If necessary, you may dilute it slightly with water, but follow your doctor’s instructions.

• Keep other oral medicines at least 2 hours apart from taking this suspension, so absorption is not affected.

Typical Dose
(Exact dosage must be prescribed by a physician; the following is a general guide.)

• For adults with duodenal ulcers: approximately 1 g (≈ 10 ml) of sucralfate suspension four times daily on an empty stomach, usually for 4 to 8 weeks.

• The dose may be adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the patient’s response.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and transient. Common ones may include:

• Constipation

• Nausea or vomiting

• Bloating or gas

• Dry mouth

• Dizziness

• Mild allergic skin reactions (rash, itching)

If you notice more serious or persistent effects, contact your doctor.

• If you have liver problems, discuss with your physician before starting treatment.

• Avoid using this medicine longer than prescribed.

• Be cautious about driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy.

• Avoid alcohol, which may aggravate gastrointestinal symptoms or interact adversely.
