I've been prescribed Sucralfate 1gm/10ml U/d Suspension to help heal an ulcer in my duodenum. I've been taking for a few weeks now. The medicine is supposed to form a protective coating over the ulcer, shielding it from stomach acid and helping it heal. However, I've been experiencing some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm really hoping to get some insights and advice from others who have been through this. My doctor mentioned the rare but serious side effects like signs of an allergic reaction or high blood sugar. How likely is it to experience these? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I recently started taking Sucralfate 1gm/10ml Suspension for my stomach ulcers, and I was surprised by how well it worked. This medication forms a protective coating over the ulcers, which acts like a bandage and shields them from stomach acid, helping them to heal. I've been taking it for about a month now, and I've noticed a significant reduction in my symptoms. However, I've been experiencing some constipation, which is one of the known side effects. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on managing it? I'm also curious to know if anyone has experienced any of the more urgent side effects like allergic reactions or signs of high blood sugar. It's important to be aware of these, even if they are rare. I'm glad I found this group to share my experiences and learn from others.
