​Pharmacology - Sucralfate 
The action of sucralfate 
HCl, pepsin, and bile acids are capable of causing harm to the mucosa of the gut. The mucosal secretion of mucus, bicarbonate, and prostaglandins is stimulated by this substance.

Method of Operation 
Sucralfate is a compound that is created by combining sulfated sucrose and aluminum hydroxide. This results in the formation of a thick paste that adheres to the bases of ulcers and serves as a barrier of protection. By inhibiting its function, antacids and medications that reduce acid output will be effective.

Orally administered. The effect is local, and there is hardly no absorption. The absorption of a wide variety of pharmaceuticals and dietary items will be decreased by sucralfate. By taking them two hours before sucralfate, this risk can be reduced to a minimum.
Use in Clinical Settings

Adverse Effects
Having trouble passing stool. Within the stomach, the formation of solid complexes, also known as bezoars. Patients who have renal impairment are at risk for aluminum poisoning.
