PubMed indexes 5 records that name Calcium and Sucralfate together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Calcium and Sucralfate. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“On the basis of its proven hypophosphatemic and ulcer-healing effects, sucralfate can be recommended in treatment of hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure. Serum phosphorus should be checked routinely in patients treated with sucralfate for the peptic ulcer disease.”
Names both Calcium and Sucralfate in its title.
“4. The results indicate that sucralfate protects the cellular integrity from calcium imbalance by modulating the EGF-stimulated gastric mucosal calcium channel phosphorylation.”
Names both Calcium and Sucralfate in its title.
Names Calcium and Sucralfate together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“In studies of adults with CKD G5D treated with dialysis, sevelamer may lower death (all causes) compared to calcium-based binders and incur less treatment-related hypercalcaemia, while we found no clinically important benefits of any phosphate binder on cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, fracture or coronary artery calcification. The effects of binders on patient-important outcomes compared to placebo are uncertain.”
Names Calcium and Sucralfate together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“This case illustrates the need to recognize this potential interaction and to know how to avoid possible treatment failure.”
Names Calcium and Sucralfate together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Calcium, Sucralfate, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
