Ryfate O Oral Suspension 200 ML is taken orally.

Ryfate O Oral Suspension 200 ML contains two active ingredients which work together to manage various stomach and intestinal conditions:

• Sucralfate (1000 mg): This ingredient forms a protective coating over the ulcer crater, thus shielding it against acid, pepsin, and bile. The protective barrier aids in the healing process of the ulcers by preventing further damage.

• Oxetacaine (10 mg): Oxetacaine is a potent topical anaesthetic. In combination with sucralfate, it provides a prolonged numbing effect on the ulcer when the suspension is applied to the damaged gastric mucosa. This results in symptomatic pain relief, making the condition more manageable for the patient.

• Store Ryfate O Oral Suspension 200 ML in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

• Keep the medicine out of children's reach to avoid accidental consumption.

• After opening, dispose of any remaining suspension 28 days later.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• If you're taking Ryfate O Oral Suspension 200 ML to manage conditions like heartburn or indigestion, try to consume smaller, more frequent meals rather than three large ones. This can help reduce the strain on your stomach.

• Limit intake of spicy and fatty foods which may exacerbate conditions like gastritis and gastric ulcers. Opt for healthier, easy-to-digest options instead.
