Overview Dufate Oral Suspension

Sucralfate oral suspension, a medication for treating stomach and intestinal ulcers, works by creating a protective layer over ulcers, facilitating healing. The active ingredient, sucralfate, promotes this protective barrier. Administer the suspension one hour before meals, ideally at night, following the prescribed dosage and duration determined by your physician. Continue treatment as directed; premature discontinuation may lead to symptom recurrence and potential worsening of your condition. Common side effects include constipation and headaches. Adequate hydration is recommended to mitigate constipation. Dizziness and drowsiness are possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until you assess the drug's impact on you. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any liver or kidney conditions, and provide a complete list of all medications you are currently using, as interactions are possible. Avoid antacid consumption within two hours of taking sucralfate.
