Ulsil Suspension 1 gm/5 ml contains Sucralfate, a gastroprotective agent used for the treatment and prevention of gastric and duodenal ulcers. It works by forming a protective barrier over ulcer sites, helping the stomach lining heal naturally while protecting it from acid and digestive enzymes.

Indications

Ulsil Suspension is indicated for:

• Gastric ulcers
• Duodenal ulcers
• Gastritis and gastric irritation
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (as supportive therapy)
• Stress-induced ulcer prevention in hospitalized patients

Mechanism of Action

Sucralfate acts locally in the stomach by forming a viscous, protective barrier when it comes in contact with gastric acid. This results in:

• Coating of ulcer sites
• Protection from acid, bile salts, and pepsin
• Promotion of mucosal healing
• Increased prostaglandin and bicarbonate secretion

It does not significantly alter stomach acid levels but supports natural healing.
