Ulsanic 500mg Tablet: Effective Relief and Protection for Stomach Ulcers and GERD
Ulsanic 500mg Tablets contain Sucralfate, a medication specifically designed to treat and protect against stomach and duodenal ulcers. It also provides relief from the discomfort of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Sucralfate works by forming a protective barrier over the ulcerated or inflamed areas of the gastrointestinal tract, shielding them from further damage caused by stomach acid, pepsin, and bile salts. This protective coating promotes healing and helps alleviate pain and discomfort.
How Ulsanic Works:
Sucralfate is a unique medication that doesn’t reduce stomach acid production like other ulcer medications (such as PPIs or H2 blockers). Instead, it acts locally in the stomach and duodenum. When it comes into contact with the acidic environment of the stomach, it forms a sticky, gel-like substance that adheres to ulcer craters and eroded areas. This barrier:
- Protects the ulcer from further damage: Shields the ulcer from stomach acid, pepsin, and bile, allowing it to heal.
- Promotes healing: Creates an environment conducive to tissue regeneration and repair.
- Relieves pain: Reduces the irritation and pain associated with ulcers and GERD.
Uses of Ulsanic 500mg Tablets:
- Duodenal Ulcers: Treatment and prevention of recurrence.
- Gastric Ulcers: Treatment and management.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Relief of symptoms like heartburn and acid regurgitation, especially when a protective action is preferred.
- Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis: In critically ill patients to prevent stress-related ulcers.
