SUCRAFIL O is a gastrointestinal medication that contains Sucralfate and Oxetacaine. Sucralfate forms a protective coating over the lining of the stomach and helps in the healing of ulcers by preventing further damage from stomach acid. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that provides temporary relief from pain and discomfort associated with ulcers and other gastrointestinal conditions. This combination is used to treat and manage conditions such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It provides symptomatic relief, promotes healing, and helps to reduce pain and inflammation in the digestive tract.
