Sucralfate is a drug used to treat various medical conditions, including duodenal ulcers, epithelial wounds, chemotherapy-induced mucositis, radiation proctitis, ulcers in Behçet disease, and burn wounds. This medication forms a protective layer, enhancing bicarbonate production, demonstrating anti-peptic properties, and fostering tissue growth, regeneration, and repair. Sucralfate undergoes minimal absorption from the enteral system, which gives it a relatively safe profile and makes it a preferred choice for addressing specific health concerns. This activity discusses the diverse applications of sucralfate, in addition to indications, mechanisms of action, administration methods, notable adverse effects, contraindications, toxicity considerations, and monitoring protocols. This information equips the interprofessional healthcare team to administer sucralfate therapy effectively.
