Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, stomach ulcers, and bloating. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and stomach ulcers. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air. Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.
 
Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml contains Dimethicone, Sucralfate, and Simethicone. Dimethicone allows the food to move easily by increasing the movement/contractions of the stomach. It also helps prevent nausea and vomiting. Sucralfate protects the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and facilitates its healing. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Together, Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml provides relief from acidity, bloating, and ulcers.
 
You are advised to take Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml is a combination of three drugs: Dimethicone, Sucralfate, and Simethicone. It is used to treat acidity, stomach ulcers, and bloating. Dimethicone is a prokinetic that allows food to move easily by increasing the movement/contractions of the stomach. It also helps prevent nausea and vomiting. Sucralfate is a protectant that protects the damaged ulcer tissue in the abdomen and facilitates its healing. Simethicone is an anti-flatulent that works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby promotes the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Together, Sucrafil DS Syrup 100 ml provides relief from bloating and ulcers.
