Ucrafate Suspension 1 gm/5 ml contains Sucralfate, a medication commonly used for the treatment and prevention of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. It acts as a protective agent for the gastrointestinal lining, helping to shield damaged tissues from stomach acid and digestive enzymes, thereby promoting healing.

Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over ulcer sites, which prevents further irritation and supports the natural healing process. Ucrafate Suspension is particularly helpful for patients suffering from gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastritis, and acid-related gastrointestinal conditions.
