Sucralfate is a medication used to treat and prevent the return of duodenal ulcers. It is important to take sucralfate on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals. This allows the medication to work effectively by sticking to damaged ulcer tissue and protecting against acid and enzymes so healing can occur.
