Pepsigard Junior 500mg/5ml Syrup is an oral suspension manufactured and marketed by SAF Fermion Ltd, formulated with Sucralfate 500mg per 5ml. Sucralfate is a locally-acting medicine that does not get absorbed into the bloodstream in any meaningful way; instead, on contact with stomach acid it forms a thick, paste-like protective coating that sticks firmly over an ulcer or any raw, damaged surface inside the stomach or intestine. This barrier shields the injured tissue from further contact with stomach acid, digestive enzymes and bile, giving the area the protected environment it needs to heal naturally over time. Pepsigard Junior Syrup is commonly used in the treatment of stomach ulcers and intestinal ulcers, and may also be used to prevent stress-related ulcers in certain clinical situations, always under a doctor’s guidance. Because it works mechanically at the site of the ulcer rather than by altering acid production, it is often used alongside other anti-ulcer measures as advised by a physician. The syrup form makes it a convenient option for children and for anyone who finds tablets difficult to take, and it should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally one hour before meals and preferably at bedtime, for the coating action to work most effectively. Noticeable relief in ulcer-related discomfort may take a little time, and the underlying ulcer itself generally needs around four to six weeks of consistent use to heal fully, so the complete course advised by the doctor should be finished even if symptoms ease earlier. Pepsigard Junior Syrup is supplied in a 100ml bottle and should be shaken well before each use.
