Each tablet contains 1g Sucralfate.
Sucraid is a gastrointestinal mucosal protectant that forms a paste-like complex at ulcer sites to prevent further erosion. It is used as an adjunctive treatment for oesophagitis, gastric or duodenal ulcers, and drug-induced gastric erosions. Its effect may persist for up to six hours after oral administration.
It is recommended to administer Sucraid on an empty stomach. Other oral medications should be given at least two hours apart.
- Cats / Small dogs: ¼–½ tablet per animal, 2–4 times daily

- Should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the ingredient.
- Sucralfate may interact with other medications.
- May cause mild constipation in some animals.
