A member asked:
I dissolve sucralfate in my mouth with little water and swallow to provide protection to esophagus in addition to stomach from acid. is this ok or should sucralfate only be swallowed whole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liquid ok: Since sucralfate also comes in a liquid form,I assume your technique of taking it is effective. Your pharmacist can also advise you about this.
