Ulfix Tablet 1000 mg contains Sucralfate, a gastroprotective agent used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. Sucralfate works by forming a protective coating over the ulcer site, shielding it from stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes, which promotes natural healing of the gastrointestinal lining.

Ulfix 1000 mg is ideal for patients requiring higher single-dose therapy, offering convenience and effective management of peptic ulcers, gastritis, and other acid-related disorders. It helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, epigastric pain, and discomfort while supporting mucosal healing.

Key Benefits

• Protects Ulcer Sites: Forms a protective barrier to facilitate healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers.

• Relieves Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Reduces heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation.

• Prevents Recurrence: Supports long-term gastrointestinal health after ulcer healing.

• Convenient Dosing: Higher strength allows fewer tablets per dose.

• Safe for Extended Use: Minimal systemic absorption makes it suitable for long-term therapy.

Mechanism of Action

Sucralfate acts locally in acidic conditions. It reacts in the stomach to form a viscous, sticky barrier that adheres to ulcer sites, protecting them from gastric acid, pepsin, and bile salts. This protective layer allows the ulcer to heal naturally. Sucralfate may also stimulate local prostaglandin and bicarbonate production, further enhancing mucosal defense and promoting repair.
