Ulcoat Suspension

Refer to the pack for complete information.

Symptomatic relief of acidity, heartburn, acid indigestion and gastritis-like symptoms; may be used as an adjunct in peptic ulcer/GERD symptom relief (as directed by a doctor).

If this is a sucralfate-based ulcer coat suspension, it works by forming a protective barrier over ulcers/eroded gastric lining in the presence of stomach acid, shielding it from acid and pepsin. This allows healing and reduces pain/heartburn. Exact mechanism depends on the actual active ingredients.

Oral suspension: Shake well before use. Typically taken on an empty stomach (often 1 hour before meals and at bedtime) as advised by the physician. Keep a gap of at least 2 hours from other oral medicines unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Constipation, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, abdominal discomfort, flatulence

Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient. Use with caution in kidney disease (risk of aluminium accumulation if product contains aluminium/sucralfate) and in patients on dialysis. May reduce absorption of several medicines—maintain dosing gap. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist, you have blood in vomit/stool, severe abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or difficulty swallowing.

May reduce absorption/effect of: fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin/ofloxacin), tetracyclines, levothyroxine, digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin, iron salts—separate by at least 2 hours (sometimes 4 hours for certain drugs). Antacids may interfere if taken too close depending on formulation.

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
