Detailed explanation-1: -Take sucralfate on an empty stomach, 2 hours after or 1 hour before meals. Take sucralfate around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take sucralfate exactly as directed.
Detailed explanation-2: -[1] Sucralfate forms a protective coat and protects the gastric mucosa from pepsin, pectic acid, and bile salts. It binds to positively charged proteins in exudates, locally forming a thick viscous substance.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you’ve been prescribed sucralfate, you’ve likely been told to take it on an empty stomach. That’s because food can prevent it from working as well. When you have food in your stomach, sucralfate isn’t able to properly coat your ulcers to allow them to heal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Descriptions. Sucralfate is used to treat and prevent duodenal ulcers and other conditions as determined by your doctor. It works by forming a barrier or coat over the ulcer. This protects the ulcer from the acid of the stomach, allowing it to heal.
