Sukee
Sukee contains Sucralfate, a gastroprotective agent that adheres to proteins at the ulcer site, creating a physical barrier that shields the ulcer from gastric acid, pepsin, and bile salts, thereby facilitating healing.
Dosage by Body Weight
To be taken on an empty stomach, typically 1 hour before meals and at bedtime. Avoid taking antacids within 30 minutes before or after administering Sukee.
