Product introduction

Sucral Cream is a medicine used as a wound healing agent for treating several types of wounds. It forms a protective layer over the surface and shields the wound from external irritants. This way it promotes healing and facilitates regeneration of damaged tissues.

Sucral Cream is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. The affected area should be clean and dry before application. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Use it regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as it will not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased.

If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. You can help this medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry, and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.

Some common side effects include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. They may be able to suggest ways to reduce them.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar cream before and had an allergic reaction.


Uses of Sucral Cream

Benefits of Sucral Cream

In Treatment of Intestinal ulcers

Intestinal ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the intestine. Sucral Cream is used to treat intestinal ulcers. Sucral Cream works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, preventing further damage to the ulcer, and heals naturally. Sucral Cream also reduces pain and bleeding associated with intestinal ulcers. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking Sucral Cream as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

In Treatment of Stomach ulcers

Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach. Sucral Cream is used to treat stomach ulcers. Sucral Cream covers the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and protects it against stomach acid or further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly. $also gives relief from pain and discomfort in the stomach associated with stomach ulcers. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

In Wound healing

Sucral Cream helps remove dead tissue from the wounded area and helps in faster healing.
