SUCRALFATE DESCRIPTION
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
-
● Studies in human subjects and with animal models of ulcer disease have shown that sucralfate forms an ulcer-adherent complex with proteinaceous exudate at the ulcer site.
-
● In vitro, a sucralfate-albumin film provides a barrier to diffusion of hydrogen ions.
-
● In human subjects, sucralfate given in doses recommended for ulcer therapy inhibits pepsin activity in gastric juice by 32%.
-
● In vitro, sucralfate adsorbs bile salts.
