Description
Sucralfate 1gm Syrup – This syrup contains Sucralfate, which is used to treat ulcers in the stomach and intestines. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the inside of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. A sore in the stomach area is called a gastric ulcer, and a sore in the beginning part of the small intestine is called a duodenal ulcer. Sucralfate creates a layer over the ulcer or any other sore spot. This forms a protective layer that keeps the sore or damaged area safe from stomach acid and other harm, helping it to heal. Knox Lifesciences is the leading name in the Indian pharmaceutical industry that offers the best Sucralfate 1gm Syrup for third-party pharma manufacturing services in India.
