Sucralyn Syp 100ML

Syrup

Relief of symptoms due to acidity and acid-peptic disorders such as gastritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, peptic/duodenal ulcer (if sucralfate-containing).

If it contains sucralfate, it forms a protective coating over ulcerated/inflamed gastric and duodenal mucosa and protects it from acid, bile and pepsin, promoting healing. It acts locally in the stomach with minimal systemic absorption.

Oral syrup. If sucralfate-based, typically taken on an empty stomach (about 1 hour before meals and at bedtime) as directed by the physician. Shake well before use; use a measuring cup/spoon; avoid taking other medicines within 2 hours unless advised.

Constipation, nausea, dry mouth, stomach discomfort, bloating, dizziness

Composition/strength not available—confirm label before dispensing. If sucralfate-containing: may cause constipation; use with caution in severe kidney disease (risk of aluminium accumulation), in patients on dialysis, and in those with difficulty swallowing. Separate from other oral medicines by at least 2 hours (can reduce their absorption). Seek medical advice for black stools, vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, or symptoms persisting >2 weeks.

May reduce absorption of: fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin/ofloxacin), tetracyclines, levothyroxine, digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin, iron salts; antacids can reduce binding if taken together (separate by at least 30 minutes).
