COATZ SUSP

Coatz Suspension is used to prevent or treat peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal ulcers. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the stomach’s lining or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). An ulcer or sores of the stomach region is called a gastric ulcer, while an ulcer of the duodenum is known as a duodenal ulcer.

Coatz Suspension contains ‘Sucralfate’, which works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer so that digestive enzymes, acid and bile salts cannot further irritate the lining of the stomach and duodenum. This protects the ulcer from the stomach’s acid, allowing it to heal.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Coatz Suspension based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects like constipation, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Coatz Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Avoid taking any antacid like magnesium hydroxide or aluminium hydroxide within 30 minutes before or after taking Coatz Suspension . If you are known to be allergic to Coatz Suspension or active and inactive ingredients present on it, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Coatz Suspension . Duodenal ulcer tends to be a recurrent disease. Try not to stop taking Coatz Suspension of your own. Stopping a sudden intake of Coatz Suspension will not influence the frequency or severity of future ulceration. Let your doctor know if you have any kidney problems. People with reduced kidney function may be more likely to experience side effects of aluminium accumulation with Coatz Suspension . The dose adjustment is necessary for patients with kidney disease and elderly patients.

Treatment of Duodenal ulcer

Coatz Suspension is a class of anti-ulcer drugs prescribed for treating or preventing the return of duodenal ulcers (ulcers located in the first part of the small intestines). Coatz Suspension  works by forming a protective barrier or coat over the ulcer to pepsin and bile and inhibits the diffusion of gastric acid. This protects the ulcer from the stomach’s acid, allowing it to heal. Coatz Suspension  exhibits a cytoprotective effect and forms a viscous, adhesive barrier on the surface of the intact intestinal mucosa and the stomach. Coatz Suspension stimulates the synthesis and release of gastric mucosal prostaglandins, bicarbonate, and the epidermal growth factor, which promotes healing.
