PubMed indexes 4 records that name Sucralfate and Zinc 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 Sucralfate and Zinc. 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.
“The W/O emulsion used in this study demonstrated real benefits for the subjects suffering from contact dermatitis and climatic dermatitis.”
Names both Sucralfate and Zinc in its title.
“This case illustrates the need to recognize this potential interaction and to know how to avoid possible treatment failure.”
Names Sucralfate and Zinc together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“These ulcerogenic and PD responses caused by NH4OH plus ischemia were also attenuated by prior application of polaprezinc, while dmPGE2 and sucralfate prevented such lesions without affecting the reduced PD response. These results suggest that: (1) NH2Cl generated either exogenously or endogenously damages the gastric mucosa, (2) both polaprezinc and sucralfate protect the stomach against injury caused by NH2Cl, and (3) the mechanisms underlying the protective action of…”
Names Sucralfate and Zinc together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“Fluoroquinolone antibiotics should be administered at least 2 hours before agents containing metal cations to allow for their absorption. In addition, sucralfate should not be administered less than 6 hours before fluoroquinolone antibiotic administration.”
Names Sucralfate and Zinc 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 Sucralfate, Zinc, 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.
