Mechanism of Action
Sucralfate acts locally in the stomach by forming a viscous, protective barrier when it comes in contact with gastric acid. This results in:
-
Coating of ulcer sites

Protection from acid, bile salts, and pepsin

Increased prostaglandin and bicarbonate secretion
It does not significantly alter stomach acid levels but supports natural healing.
