Timing SensitiveModerate evidence
What is happening. Magnesium products may interfere with sucralfate binding behavior and can reduce the predictability of other oral drug absorption.
Mechanism. Divalent cations and antacid effects can alter luminal binding and local acidity.
Recommendation. Separate magnesium from sucralfate by at least 2 hours; avoid magnesium-containing antacids close to sucralfate unless directed.
TimingTiming & separation.
Space the doses apart by at least this window to avoid the conflict.
