Product introduction
Sucral Cream is a medicine used as a wound healing agent for treating several types of wounds. It forms a protective layer over the surface and shields the wound from external irritants. This way it promotes healing and facilitates regeneration of damaged tissues.

Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Use it regularly to get the most benefit from it.

If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. You can help this medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry, and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.
Some common side effects include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. They may be able to suggest ways to reduce them.

In Treatment of Stomach ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach. Sucral Cream is used to treat stomach ulcers. Sucral Cream covers the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and protects it against stomach acid or further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly. $also gives relief from pain and discomfort in the stomach associated with stomach ulcers. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
In Wound healing
