A member asked:

Can sucralfate be taken long term by patients at a risk of esophogus cancer due to acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but (answer #2): Sucralfate is adjunctive therapy that likely forms a coating over damaged tissue, in theory protecting the area from further injury. No drug is perfect however, so long-term safety and efficacy here may not achieve your goal.
