Is it allowed to take Sucralfate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is a glycoside-sulphate derivative (sucrose) plus aluminum.

 At latest update no published data on excretion into breastmilk were found.

 Pharmacokinetic data (virtually non-absorbed with a high molecular weight) make it very unlikely the excretion into breastmilk in significant amounts, which in addition it would not be absorbed through the infant's intestine.

 Medication with authorized use on infants.

TOO DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER TO TAKE THIS HORSE PILL! RANITIDINE IS USED WITH THIS MED.

I have chronic GERD for about 20 years and have been using overcounter pepcid AC and prilosec and need prescribed PPI when the condition gets worse. I have a really bad heartburn and nighttime GRED starting 2 weeks ago and pantoprazole does not work. I have the pain 24 hours. I took sucralfate last night and it immediately relieved the pain and I felt great! I will continue to use it and update it effects here. I strongly recommend it!

Best ever!!! Not afraid to eat especially when going out. 4times aday is hard to do with other meds but worth the trouble. Highly recommend this drug. Had bad acid reflux for years.This works!!

People, yes this pill is too big to comfortably swallow. Get a pill-cutter! Halves can be swallowed easily.
