Sparacid DS Suspension is taken orally.

Sparacid DS Suspension contains sucralfate (1000 mg), which works in your body as follows:

• Forms Protective Coating: Sucralfate creates a protective barrier over the ulcerated tissue in your stomach and intestines. This coating shields the tissue from further damage caused by stomach acid, pepsin, and bile salts.

• Promotes Healing: Besides forming a protective shield, sucralfate also encourages the healing process of ulcers. It does so by stimulating the production of mucus and bicarbonate by normal cells lining your stomach. These substances further safeguard the ulcerated area, allowing it to heal.

• Stimulates Angiogenesis: Sucralfate promotes angiogenesis—formation of new blood vessels—and growth factors that aid in ulcer healing.

Remember that all these mechanisms work together to manage ulcers effectively.

• Store Sparacid DS Suspension at room temperature.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and excess heat.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after each use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.

• Keep this medication out of the reach of children.

• Make sure to use it before the expiry date.

• Maintain a diet low in spicy foods and high-fat content, as these can aggravate stomach ulcers for which Sparacid DS Suspension is taken.

• Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol can increase stomach acid production, further irritating an ulcer and hindering the healing process promoted by Sparacid DS Suspension.
