Carnoz -S Kit

Composition of Carnoz -S Kit

Carnoz -S Kit contains Sucralfate (1000mg) + Zinc Carnosine (75mg). It belongs to the Mucosal protectant (sucralfate) + mucosal protective agent (zinc carnosine) class of medicines.

Uses of Carnoz -S Kit

• Management of gastric and duodenal ulcers
• gastritis and gastric mucosal erosions; adjunct for GERD-related mucosal injury and ulcer healing.

Key benefits

• Protects ulcer surface and relieves pain/burning
• Promotes healing of gastric/duodenal ulcers
• Supports repair of gastric mucosa in gastritis/erosions
• Helps reduce acid-related mucosal injury

How Carnoz -S Kit works

Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over ulcers/erosions by binding to proteins at the damaged mucosa, shielding it from acid, pepsin and bile salts and promoting healing. Zinc carnosine adheres to the gastric lining and supports mucosal defense and repair via antioxidant and cytoprotective actions.
