Introduction

SUCRAFT O SUSP is a medicinal suspension combining Sucralfate and Oxetacaine, formulated to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly those related to ulcers and stomach acid-related conditions. This combination helps relieve pain, promote healing, and protect the stomach lining. The unique combination of Sucralfate and Oxetacaine makes SUCRAFT O SUSP an effective solution for managing conditions such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, acid reflux, and gastritis.

• Sucralfate helps by forming a protective barrier over ulcers, shielding them from stomach acid and promoting healing.

• Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that relieves pain and discomfort caused by these gastrointestinal conditions by numbing the affected area.

This article will explore the composition, key features, usage, and benefits of SUCRAFT O SUSP in detail, helping you understand how this combination therapy works to treat and manage various gastric conditions.

Composition

1. Sucralfate:

   • Active Ingredient: Sucralfate is a sulphated polysaccharide that works by forming a protective gel when it comes into contact with stomach acid. This gel adheres to the ulcer or damaged area, creating a physical barrier that prevents further injury from stomach acid and digestive enzymes. It promotes ulcer healing by protecting the ulcer from acidic environments and facilitating the restoration of the stomach lining.

   • Mechanism of Action: Sucralfate acts locally at the site of the ulcer, offering targeted protection and healing. It does not get absorbed into the bloodstream, which minimizes systemic side effects, making it a safe option for long-term use.

2. Oxetacaine:

   • Active Ingredient: Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic used to numb the affected area of the stomach and intestines. It works by blocking the pain signals, providing immediate relief from gastric discomfort, heartburn, or pain caused by ulcers, gastritis, or other acid-related conditions.

   • Mechanism of Action: Oxetacaine works by anesthetizing the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines, providing quick pain relief and soothing the irritated areas, making it especially useful for patients experiencing discomfort from ulcers or acid reflux.

Key Features and Ingredients

1. Sucralfate:

   • Protective Action: Sucralfate’s primary action is to form a protective layer over ulcers and wounds in the gastrointestinal tract. This layer helps to prevent irritation from stomach acid, which aids in the healing of ulcers and prevents them from worsening.

   • Promotes Healing: By providing a barrier between the ulcer and stomach acid, Sucralfate accelerates the healing process and reduces the risk of further ulceration. This results in less pain and inflammation over time.

2. Oxetacaine:

   • Pain Relief: Oxetacaine provides local anesthesia, effectively reducing pain and discomfort associated with gastric ulcers and acid reflux. This immediate relief makes SUCRAFT O SUSP an effective treatment for patients experiencing acute pain due to gastric conditions.

   • Quick Action: Since Oxetacaine works quickly, it offers rapid relief from burning sensations, heartburn, or gastric pain, allowing patients to feel better almost immediately.

3. Suspension Formulation:

   • Liquid Form: The suspension form of SUCRAFT O SUSP is particularly advantageous for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, such as children, the elderly, or individuals with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

   • Ease of Dosing: The liquid form of this medication allows for flexible dosing, which can be adjusted according to the severity of the condition and the patient's age or weight, making it a versatile treatment option.

Benefits of SUCRAFT O SUSP

1. Effective Ulcer Treatment:

   • SUCRAFT O SUSP is particularly effective in treating gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastritis. The Sucralfate in the suspension forms a protective coating over the ulcer, which shields it from stomach acid and enzymes, promoting faster healing. The Oxetacaine provides immediate pain relief, making the treatment experience more comfortable for patients.

2. Quick Relief from Gastric Pain:

   • Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that quickly numbs the stomach lining, providing instant relief from pain caused by ulcers, acid reflux, or gastritis. It helps to alleviate symptoms such as burning sensations, heartburn, or discomfort from gastric irritation.

3. Dual Action:

   • The combination of Sucralfate and Oxetacaine provides a dual-action effect: healing and pain relief. Sucralfate promotes ulcer healing, while Oxetacaine addresses the immediate discomfort, making it an ideal treatment for patients who require both long-term healing and acute symptom management.

4. Minimized Systemic Absorption:

   • Both Sucralfate and Oxetacaine work primarily in the stomach and are minimally absorbed into the bloodstream. This reduces the likelihood of systemic side effects, making the medication suitable for long-term use with a lower risk of adverse effects.

5. Gastrointestinal Protection:

   • Sucralfate not only helps heal existing ulcers but also provides protective action against the formation of new ulcers. The barrier it forms protects the stomach lining from the harmful effects of stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and bile, reducing the risk of future gastric issues.

Usage of SUCRAFT O SUSP

SUCRAFT O SUSP should be used according to the prescribing doctor's instructions, but here are some general guidelines on its use:

1. Dosage:

   • The typical dose of SUCRAFT O SUSP is 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) taken two to four times a day, usually before meals and before bedtime. The exact dosage will depend on the patient's age, weight, and the severity of the condition being treated.
