    How does sucralfate work?
    Sucralfate works mainly in the lining of the stomach and is not highly absorbed into the body. sucralfate adheres to ulcer sites and protects them from acids, enzymes, and bile salts. Sucralfate can heal an active ulcer, but it will not prevent future ulcers from occurring.

    How do you take sucralfate?
    Sucralfate forms a coating over ulcers, protecting the area from further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly. Take this medicine by mouth on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before a meal) as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 4 times daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
