Ulfix Suspension 1 gm/5 ml contains Sucralfate, a gastroprotective agent used to treat and prevent gastric and duodenal ulcers. This oral suspension is designed for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including children and adults, providing an easy and convenient method for precise dosing.

Ulfix Suspension works by forming a protective barrier over ulcer sites, shielding them from stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes. This allows the gastrointestinal lining to heal naturally while relieving symptoms such as heartburn, epigastric pain, and discomfort associated with ulcers or gastritis.

Key Benefits

• Effective Ulcer Protection: Creates a protective coating over gastric and duodenal ulcers.

• Symptom Relief: Reduces heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation.

• Convenient Oral Suspension: Ideal for children and adults who cannot swallow tablets.

• Supports Healing and Prevention: Promotes recovery of ulcerated tissue and prevents recurrence.

• Safe for Long-Term Use: Minimal systemic absorption reduces the risk of side effects.

Mechanism of Action

Sucralfate acts locally in acidic conditions to form a viscous, adhesive barrier at ulcer sites. This barrier protects the mucosa from gastric acid, pepsin, and bile salts, allowing natural healing. Additionally, Sucralfate may stimulate the production of prostaglandins and bicarbonate in the stomach lining, enhancing mucosal defense and repair.
