GICare.com opines: "For the best effect, take sucralfate on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after each meal and at bedtime. Swallow the tablet whole, do not alter or chew. With the liquid, do not drink or eat for at least one hour after taking." Ref: https://www.gicare.com/medication/sucralfate/
