Suppresses the
stomach fire
Sucralfate is effective for preventing duodenal and gastric ulcer and stress bleeding in ICU patients. It stimulates the local production of prostaglandin and epidermal growth factor, and a daily maintenance dose of 3g provides protection against recurrent gastric ulceration.
A Cool
Protective Barrier
Sucralfate promotes the production of prostaglandin and epidermal growth factor, preventing duodenal and gastric ulcers. It can also protect against stress bleeding in long-term ventilated ICU patients.
- Sucralfate stimulates the local production of prostaglandin & epidermal growth factor (1)
- Effective in the prophylaxis of duodenal ulcer (2)
- 3 g per day maintenance dose of sucralfate offers meaningful protection against recurrent gastric ulceration (3)
- Effective for the prevention of stress bleeding that minimizes the risk of nosocomial pneumonia in long-term ventilated ICU patients (4)
