Sucralfate Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with sucralfate.

Major

Sucralfate (applies to sucralfate) hypophosphatemia

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Phosphate Imbalance

Sucralfate has phosphate binding properties for which the drug is sometimes used therapeutically. However, hypophosphatemia may occur in some patients, regardless of renal status. Therapy with sucralfate should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting hypophosphatemia. Monitoring phosphate levels in these patients is recommended.

Major

Sucralfate (applies to sucralfate) renal dysfunction

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Patients with chronic renal failure or those receiving dialysis have impaired excretion of absorbed aluminum. Additionally, aluminum does not cross dialysis membranes as it is bound to albumin and transferrin plasma proteins. Aluminum accumulation and toxicity (aluminum osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, encephalopathy), have been described in patients with renal impairment. Sucralfate must be used with caution in patients with chronic renal failure.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
