Sucralfate: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Sucralfate is mainly used to treat and promote healing of active duodenal ulcers and sometimes gastric (stomach) ulcers. It works by forming a sticky, gel-like layer that binds to the ulcer surface, creating a protective barrier against stomach acid, enzymes, and bile salts. This shield allows the ulcer to heal more effectively. It does not reduce acid production, but instead protects the damaged area so healing can occur. Sucralfate is also sometimes used to prevent ulcers in patients under high stress or those using NSAIDs.

Dosage:                               

Sucralfate is commonly used to treat and heal stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers by forming a protective barrier over the ulcer site. The typical adult dose is 1 gram taken four times a day, usually before meals and at bedtime, or 2 grams twice a day as an alternative. It should be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water. Sucralfate is not absorbed into the bloodstream—it acts locally in the stomach lining to protect it from acid and promote healing.

Note:

Do not take antacids within 30 minutes before or after sucralfate.

Other medications should be taken at least 2 hours before or after sucralfate to avoid absorption issues.

Treatment typically lasts 4 to 8 weeks or as directed by your doctor.
