What does it do?

Sucralfate is a medication that protects the gastric mucosa and is primarily used for the treatment of peptic ulcers. This ingredient reacts with stomach acid to form a viscous protective barrier that covers the ulcer site. This reduces mucosal damage and promotes healing.

Sucralfate interacts with stomach acid to create a viscous protective barrier that wraps around the ulcer site. This barrier protects the mucosa from stomach acid and digestive enzymes, preventing damage and aiding in wound recovery. Additionally, it creates an environment that promotes mucosal regeneration.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Sucralfate is characterized by forming a protective barrier without neutralizing stomach acid. Unlike other antacids, it does not inhibit the secretion of stomach acid, allowing the acidic environment to be maintained while protecting the ulcer site. As a result, it is also effective when used in combination with acid secretion inhibitors.
