Sucralfate is a gastroprotective agent used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. It works locally by forming a viscous, adhesive barrier over ulcerated tissue, shielding it from acid, pepsin, and bile salts. With minimal systemic absorption, Sucralfate is considered safe, well-tolerated, and highly effective in managing peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, and reflux-related mucosal injury.
Sucralfate acts primarily through local, surface-protective mechanisms rather than systemic effects. In acidic conditions (pH < 4), it polymerizes to form a viscous, adhesive paste that binds to positively charged proteins at the ulcer site. This forms a physical barrier that protects the lesion from gastric acid, pepsin, and bile salts. Additionally, it stimulates local prostaglandin and bicarbonate secretion, enhancing mucosal defense and promoting ulcer healing.
