Epsifate 1000 MG Syrup 200 ML contains sucralfate (1000 mg), which works in your body as follows:

• Forms Protective Coating: When sucralfate comes into contact with stomach acid, it forms a thick gel-like protective coating that binds selectively to ulcer sites and damaged gastrointestinal mucosa. This barrier prevents further damage from stomach acid, pepsin, and bile salts.

• Promotes Healing: By forming a physical barrier over the ulcer crater and inflamed tissues, sucralfate aids in the natural healing of ulcers and reduces associated pain and discomfort.

• Stimulates Mucus Secretion: Sucralfate stimulates the production of prostaglandin E2 and mucus secretion to enhance its protective effects further. It acts locally in your digestive tract without significantly absorbing into your bloodstream.

• Keep Epsifate 1000 MG Syrup 200 ML at room temperature below 30°C.

• Store it away from direct light, heat, and moisture.

• Don't refrigerate or freeze the medicine.

• It's important to keep it out of reach of children.

• If you're managing duodenal ulcers or other gastrointestinal conditions with Epsifate 1000 MG Syrup 200 ML, ensure your diet is rich in fibre. A high-fiber diet can help promote healthy digestion and reduce constipation, a potential side effect of the medication.

• Additionally, avoiding spicy food and restricting the intake of acidic beverages such as coffee and alcohol can help manage acid reflux or heartburn symptoms. These dietary changes may support the effectiveness of Epsifate 1000 MG Syrup 200 ML in managing your condition.
