My FIL was just prescribed sucralfate for a gastric ulcer. His doctor told him the liquid form is much more expensive so he advised him to crush tablets and mix them with water instead. He advised him not to mix it with any other liquid.
The film coated tablets in the UK for losartan are crushable. (I had to check with the manufacturer for myself when I started taking them).
can you crush a simvastatin tablet?
Can you crush spironolactone
yes
Sucralfate is used to treat or prevent ulcers.
You get the solution faster than uncrushed tablet. At times a patient can not swallow the tablet and crush it before swallowing. But it is is not recommended to crush the tablets. That is problematic in case of delayed or sustained release tablets as well as for enteric coated tablets. You have the disturbed phrmacokinetics or the drug may get destroyed by acid in the stomach.
Burning in GI tract

Normally there is not gluten in sucralfate but if you are taking the medication and gluten intolerant then call the number of the pharmacy to double check that gluten is not used as a filler for the pill!
Sucralfate and Oxetacaine does not help cure or reduce cough. But in the treatment of viral coughs Solumedrol is prescribed. This drug has the effect of affecting the stomach and food pipe. Therefore to reduce the harmful side effect of Solumedrol, a steroid, Sucralfate and Oxetacaine is prescribed. It helps reduce the irritation of food pipe and stomach
yea it is it is better if you don't because if you don't you know your getting the whole supplement
Was it down with water or crush it in the water before you take it so it doesn't taste as bad.
