Ucrafate Tablet 1000 mg contains Sucralfate, an effective anti-ulcer medication used for the treatment and prevention of gastric and duodenal ulcers. It acts as a protective agent for the stomach lining, helping to shield damaged tissues from stomach acid, bile salts, and digestive enzymes.

Unlike many other ulcer medications that reduce acid production, Sucralfate works by forming a protective coating over ulcerated or inflamed areas of the gastrointestinal tract. This barrier protects the affected tissue from further irritation and supports the natural healing process. Ucrafate Tablet is widely used for managing ulcers, gastritis, and other acid-related digestive disorders.
