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.

I was recently prescribed Sucralfate 1gm Tablets for treating some ulcers in my stomach. I've heard that it works by forming a protective coating over the ulcers, shielding them from stomach acid and allowing them to heal. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? I'm curious to know how well it worked for you and if you experienced any side effects. I've read that constipation is a common side effect, so I'm trying to prepare for that. Also, I've been instructed to take it on an empty stomach, which seems a bit challenging. Any tips on managing that? Additionally, I'm a bit concerned about the rare but severe side effects mentioned in the documentation. How likely are these, and should I be overly worried? Thanks in advance for any insights!
