Crafilm Suspension 120ml

Crafilm Suspension 120ml contains Sucralfate, a stomach-lining protector. Made by Pacific Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it is prescribed for stomach and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis and prevention of stress ulcers. Pack size: 120 ml.

Uses of Crafilm Suspension 120ml

Crafilm Suspension 120ml is used to help heal stomach (gastric) and duodenal ulcers and to protect them from further damage while they heal. It may also be used for chronic gastritis and, in hospital, to prevent stress ulcers in seriously ill patients. Your doctor may also check for and treat Helicobacter pylori infection, a common cause of ulcers.

How Crafilm Suspension 120ml works

Sucralfate reacts with stomach acid to form a sticky, paste-like layer that binds to the ulcer surface. This acts as a protective barrier against acid, pepsin and bile, giving the ulcer time to heal. Very little of it is absorbed into the body.

Possible side effects

Because very little of Crafilm Suspension 120ml is absorbed, side effects are uncommon, but they may include:

• Constipation
• Dry mouth
• Nausea
• Indigestion or wind

See a doctor urgently if you vomit blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, pass black tarry stools, or have severe stomach pain.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it on an empty stomach and keep a gap between it and other medicines, as it can reduce the absorption of drugs such as warfarin, digoxin, levothyroxine, phenytoin and some antibiotics.
• Avoid taking antacids at the same time as sucralfate.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, as it contains aluminium, which can build up in the body.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor.
• Keep taking it for the full time your doctor recommends, even if your symptoms improve.

Storage

Store the dry powder below 30°C in a dry place. Once mixed with water, follow the storage and discard instructions printed on the pack, and shake well before each use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
