Sucralfate is a cytoprotective agent used primarily to treat and prevent ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract, especially duodenal ulcers. It acts locally by forming a protective barrier at ulcer sites and does not have significant systemic absorption. Sucralfate is currently approved and widely used for gastroduodenal ulcer management.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for healthy adults administered standard oral doses, based on available pharmacological knowledge and product labels indicating minimal systemic absorption.
