Pregnancy interaction

• Sucralfate: Not very well absorbed from the gut; it is usually safe to take during pregnancy.

Advice:

• Safe to use for a short time after talking to a doctor.
• Don't use it for a long time or in large amounts without a doctor's supervision.
• Breastfeeding: Probably safe; very little absorption into the body. If you need to use it for a long time, talk to a doctor.
