Sucralfate is a gastroprotective medication that forms a barrier over damaged mucosa, used in animals suffering from digestive ulcers.
Form
Sucralfate is a gastroprotective medication used in animals suffering from ulcers in the stomach, esophagus, or duodenum. It works by forming a protective barrier over the damaged mucosa, limiting the effects of gastric acids. It can also be prescribed to reduce high phosphorus levels in cases of renal failure. This medication should be administered on an empty stomach and carefully monitored for potential side effects such as constipation or vomiting. It may interact with certain antibiotics and other medications, requiring prior veterinary advice. Storage should be at room temperature, away from humidity.
