Sucralfate
I am going to start taking sucralfate (1g pill). Do you have any advice from those who have taken it and had positive experiences? How would it be best to take it? How long before a meal and with what amount of water? Or should I dissolve it in water? Thank you!

I’m taking it right now! The pills are kind of large but I don’t have trouble swallowing them. If you do, you can dissolve them. The meal timing is the most important. I take mine 1 hour before a meal and 2-3 hours after a meal. If you’re taking other medications make sure to space them 2 hours away from the Sucralfate because it can decrease the effectiveness of the medications. I take mine with a full glass of water as instructed by my pharmacist. This also helps it go down easier I find
And I was told the Sucralfate and decrease the effectiveness of other medications so that’s why the spacing with other medications is important
Do you find it helpful and how much water does your glass hold exactly? Ty
I do! I find it helps the symptoms of burning that I have. My glass of water is about 8 ounces and I drink the whole thing when I take my pill
