Sucral-O Suspension

Introduction

Sucral-O Suspension is typically prescribed for treating and managing various gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers in the stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), and relief from associated symptoms like pain or discomfort.

Sucralfate is an antiulcer medication that forms a protective layer over the ulcer, shielding it from stomach acid and allowing it to heal. Oxetacaine/Oxethazaine belongs to the class of local anesthetics and acts by numbing or reducing the sensation of pain in the affected area.

It generally doesn't have any serious side effect, but you may experience constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhea. It's usually recommended to take this medicine on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals and at bedtime for best results. Avoid taking any other medications within 2 hours of taking sucralfate, as it can interfere with their absorption. Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment. It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
