Sulcrate® Suspension Plus Oral Suspension

Sulcrate® Suspension Plus is a sucralfate oral suspension used for the treatment of active duodenal ulcers and for maintenance therapy after healing. CanadianInsulin sources this medicine from Canada and ships to the US, providing Canadian pricing with US delivery from Canada. This page explains uses, dosing, side effects, interactions, and how to take Sulcrate Suspension Plus, along with ordering details for cash-pay buyers.

What Sulcrate® Is and How It Works

Sulcrate® Suspension Plus contains sucralfate, a locally acting gastroprotective agent. In the stomach and duodenum, sucralfate forms a viscous, adhesive barrier that binds to ulcer craters and erosions. This protective layer shields the tissue from acid, pepsin, and bile salts, supporting natural healing. Systemic absorption is minimal in people with normal kidney function.

At CanadianInsulin, orders are filled by licensed Canadian pharmacies after we confirm a valid prescription with your clinic.

This product is supplied from Canada and delivered to US addresses. The oral suspension can be helpful for adults who prefer a liquid over tablets.

Who Sulcrate® Is For

Sulcrate Suspension Plus is indicated for the short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcers and for maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of ulcer recurrence after healing. Use only under the direction of a licensed prescriber.

Do not use if there is a known hypersensitivity to sucralfate or to any component of the formulation. Because sucralfate contains aluminum, use caution in chronic kidney disease, especially in dialysis. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Discuss use during pregnancy or breastfeeding with a clinician.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the exact directions on the prescription label. Commonly published regimens include:

• Active duodenal ulcer: 1 g four times daily on an empty stomach, or 2 g twice daily.
• Maintenance therapy after healing: 1 g twice daily.

General administration guidance:

• Take on an empty stomach, typically at least one hour before meals and at bedtime.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose. Measure with a marked dosing syringe or cup.
• Separate other oral medicines by time because sucralfate can reduce their absorption. A common approach is at least two hours before or after other medicines, as advised by a clinician or pharmacist.
• Antacids, if used, are often spaced at least 30 minutes away from a sucralfate dose.
• Many patients require 4 to 8 weeks of therapy for healing. Maintenance dosing may follow if prescribed.

When the exact dosing schedule is unclear, defer to the official label and the prescriber’s instructions.

Strengths and Forms

This page refers to the oral suspension formulation. Commonly published presentations include:

• Oral suspension: concentrations vary by brand and country. Many references describe 1 g sucralfate per 10 mL. Some Canadian presentations may differ. Follow the strength shown on the bottle label.
• Tablets: 1 g tablets are widely available in many markets.

Availability can vary by pharmacy and by supplier.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. If it is near the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double up doses. Try to keep doses evenly spaced and maintain the empty-stomach timing for best effect.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store at room temperature, generally 15 to 30°C, away from excess heat and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed, and shake well before use. Keep out of reach of children.

For travel, keep the original labeled container in carry-on baggage. Protect the bottle from temperature extremes and store it upright to limit leaks. When traveling across borders, plan refills ahead through your account to maintain continuity of therapy.

Benefits

Sulcrate Suspension Plus provides a protective barrier at ulcer sites, helping shield tissue from acid and digestive enzymes. Its local action and minimal systemic absorption make it a useful option for ulcer care when used as directed. The liquid form can be easier to take for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Side Effects and Safety

Commonly reported side effects include:

• Constipation
• Stomach discomfort or indigestion
• Nausea
• Gas
• Dry mouth
• Headache or dizziness

Serious or rare risks include hypersensitivity reactions, intestinal blockage or bezoar formation in predisposed patients, and aluminum accumulation in those with significant renal impairment. Seek care if there are signs of severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Sucralfate can bind to other oral medicines and reduce their absorption. Interactions of concern include, but are not limited to:

• Fluoroquinolones (for example, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin)
• Tetracyclines
• Levothyroxine
• Phenytoin
• Digoxin
• Warfarin

Space other medicines apart from sucralfate, often by at least two hours, per clinician or pharmacist advice. Antacids given close to dosing may reduce the protective effect. Use caution in chronic kidney disease due to aluminum content. Always provide a complete medication list to the prescriber.

What to Expect Over Time

Ulcer symptoms often improve with regular dosing and appropriate diet and lifestyle measures. Healing commonly requires several weeks, with many regimens continuing for 4 to 8 weeks. Maintenance therapy may follow if recommended to reduce recurrence risk. Ongoing follow-up helps confirm healing and guide the total duration of therapy.

Compare With Alternatives

Other approved options for acid-related conditions include H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors. For example, H2 blockade with Famotidine or acid suppression with a PPI such as Omeprazole may be used when appropriate. Sucralfate is also available as 1 g tablets in many markets if a solid form is preferred. The right choice depends on diagnosis, tolerance, and the prescriber’s plan.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary. If Sulcrate Suspension Plus is unavailable, a prescriber may recommend a suitable alternative. Generic sucralfate suspension or sucralfate 1 g tablets may be considered if consistent with the prescription and clinical plan. Pharmacy-dispensed concentration and packaging can vary; follow the product label provided with the filled prescription.

Patient Suitability and Cost Saving Tips

This medicine suits adults with an active duodenal ulcer or those requiring maintenance therapy after healing. It may not be appropriate for people with a known sucralfate allergy, severe renal impairment, or those at high risk for bezoar formation. Discuss use during pregnancy or breastfeeding with a clinician.

Cost-saving ideas include considering a multi-month supply when prescribed and comparing the relative cost of tablets versus suspension, if both are appropriate. Aligning refills to reduce the number of separate shipments can help limit per-order costs. Keep an updated medication list to avoid duplicate therapies that add expense without benefit.
