Sucralfate

Sucralfate is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It works by forming a protective barrier over the ulcer site, which shields it from stomach acid and allows it to heal. It’s usually taken in tablet or liquid form, often on an empty stomach to maximize its effectiveness.

Commonly, sucralfate is prescribed for short-term treatment, but your healthcare provider may adjust the duration based on your specific condition. As with any medication, it’s important to follow your doctor's instructions and discuss any concerns or side effects you might experience. If you have questions about its use or how it fits into your treatment plan, don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional for guidance.
