Information About Sucralfate

Sucralfate is a mucosal protective agent used to treat active duodenal and gastric ulcers and prevent stress ulcers in Singapore. Available as a 1g oral tablet or suspension taken four times daily on an empty stomach, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore.
