One of the most effective and gentle formulations available today is SUCRAFT PLAIN SUSP, a high-quality sucralfate (1g) suspension offered by Steris Healthcare. Whether you’re prescribed this for ulcers or inflammation, this article will explain everything you need to know — from uses, side effects, dosage, and how to use it safely, especially from a patient’s perspective.

What is Sucralfate Suspension?

Sucralfate suspension is a gastroprotective agent used to treat and prevent stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and other gastrointestinal conditions. The active ingredient, sucralfate, forms a protective barrier over ulcers and irritated tissues, shielding them from stomach acid and allowing them to heal naturally.

Unlike traditional antacids, sucralfate suspension does not neutralize stomach acid — instead, it coats the stomach lining to reduce irritation and promote healing.

Key Sucralfate Suspension Uses

1. Treatment of Peptic Ulcers

Sucralfate suspension is commonly used in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. It acts as a barrier that adheres to the ulcer site, protecting it from acid, enzymes, and bile salts.

2. Prevention of Ulcers in At-Risk Patients

It is prescribed to patients taking NSAIDs, steroids, or those undergoing stress-related treatments, to prevent the formation of ulcers.

3. Management of Acid Reflux or GERD

While it is not an acid suppressant, sucralfate suspension can ease symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by protecting the esophageal lining from stomach contents.

When & How to Take Sucralfate Suspension?

A common patient question is: “Should I take sucralfate suspension before or after food?”

The answer: Take sucralfate suspension on an empty stomach, usually 1 hour before meals and at bedtime, or as prescribed by your doctor.

This timing ensures the medication forms a protective coating over your stomach lining before acid production begins.

Sucralfate Suspension Dose and Instructions

• Adults: Typically, the dose is 1g (5–10 mL), 4 times a day (before meals and at bedtime).

• Children: Dose depends on weight and medical advice.

Do not mix with antacids, as this can reduce the effectiveness. Leave at least 30 minutes gap between taking sucralfate and any antacids or other medications.
