FD&C Red #40,
flavor, glycerin USP, methylcellulose USP, methylparaben NF,
microcrystalline cellulose
NF, purified water USP, simethicone USP, and sorbitol solution USP.
Therapeutic
category: antiulcer.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Sucralfate is only minimally absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The small amounts
of the sulfated disaccharide that are absorbed are excreted primarily
in the urine.
Although the mechanism of sucralfate’s ability to accelerate healing
of duodenal ulcers
remains to be fully defined, it is known that it exerts its effect
through a local, rather
than systemic, action. The following observations also appear
pertinent:
1. Studies in human subjects and with animal models of ulcer disease
have shown that
sucralfate forms an ulcer-adherent complex with proteinaceous exudate
at the ulcer
site.
2. In vitro, a sucralfate-albumin film provides a barrier to diffusion
of hydrogen ions.
3. In human subjects, sucralfate given in doses recommended for ulcer
therapy inhibits
pepsin activity in gastric juice by 32%.
In vitro, sucralfate adsorbs bile salts.
These observations suggest that sucralfate’s antiulcer activity is
the result of formation
of an ulcer-adherent complex that covers the ulcer site and protects
it against further
attack by acid, pepsin, and bile salts. There are approximately 14 to
16 mEq of acid-
neutralizing capacity per 1-g dose of sucralfate.
CLINICAL TRIALS
In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Sucralfate
OralSuspension, a
dosage regimen of 1g (10 mL) four times daily was demonstrated to be
superior to
placebo in ulcer healing.
