You need to keep taking Sucral Cream as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
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.
