- ■ This medicine is best given on an empty stomach and not at the same time as other medications. If you are giving your animal any other medication, be sure to give the other medications 2 hours before you give the sucralfate.
- Store sucralfate tablets in tight containers at room temperature (15°C-30°C [59°F-86°F]). Store sucralfate suspension at controlled room temperature (20°C-25°C [68°F-77°F]); do not freeze.

概要
スクラルファートは、局所的に作用する胃腸粘膜保護薬であり、主に口腔、食道、胃、十二指腸の潰瘍の治療および管理に使用されます。また、薬物(NSAIDsやアスピリンなど)による胃のびらんを予防するために使用されることもありますが、予防効果は不安定であると考えられています。
臨床のポイント: 獣医学において、スクラルファートはしばしば胃腸管の「液体絆創膏」と表現されます。潰瘍を適切にコーティングするためには酸性環境が必要であるため、食事や他の制酸薬(H2ブロッカーやプロトンポンプ阻害薬など)との投与間隔が非常に重要です。
ヒト医療では、腎不全に続発する高リン血症の患者に対するリン吸着薬として使用されてきましたが、獣医学的研究(健康な猫など)では、血清リン濃度を低下させる効果について一貫性のない、または有意でない結果が示されています。
作用機序
Sucralfate exerts a local, non-systemic effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa.
- Polymerization: After oral administration, sucralfate reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach → undergoes cross-linking → forms a highly viscous, paste-like complex.
- Barrier Formation: This complex carries a strong negative charge and binds tightly to the positively charged proteinaceous exudates (like albumin and fibrinogen) found at ulcer sites. This forms an insoluble physical barrier that protects the ulcerated tissue from further degradation by pepsin, acid, and bile salts.
- Enzyme & Bile Acid Inactivation: Sucralfate directly inactivates pepsin and binds to bile acids, reducing their mucosal toxicity.
- Cytoprotection: It exhibits cytoprotective properties, likely mediated through the local stimulation and release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), which enhance mucosal blood flow and mucus/bicarbonate secretion.
Note: Sucralfate does not significantly alter gastric acid output or pancreatic enzyme activity.
安全性・警告
禁忌
- No absolute contraindications
- Use with caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal transit times (e.g., megacolon, ileus) due to the risk of constipation
- Known hypersensitivity to sucralfate
有害事象
- Constipation (most common in dogs and humans)
- Vomiting (reported primarily in cats)
- Hypophosphatemia (rare, with prolonged use)
注意事項
There are no known absolute contraindications to the use of sucralfate.
- GI Motility: Because it may cause constipation, it should be used with caution in animals where decreased intestinal transit times might be deleterious.
- Pregnancy & Nursing: FDA Category B in humans. Categorized as Class A (Probably safe) in dogs and cats. It is unknown if it is excreted in milk, but due to minimal systemic absorption, it is unlikely to be of concern in nursing animals.
- Timing of Administration: Because it requires an acidic environment to activate, it should ideally be given before acid-suppressing drugs (like H2 blockers or PPIs), typically separated by 30-60 minutes.

監視
- Clinical efficacy (resolution of vomiting, melena, anorexia, or abdominal pain)
- Endoscopic examination of ulcer healing
- Fecal occult blood
- Resolution of clinical signs of GI ulceration (e.g., vomiting, melena, anorexia)
- Fecal consistency (monitor for constipation)
薬物動態
吸収
Only 3-5% of an oral dose is absorbed systemically, as the drug primarily acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract.
分布
Acts locally at the site of ulceration. The duration of action (binding to the ulcer site) may persist for up to 6 hours after oral dosing.
代謝
By reacting with hydrochloric acid in the gut, the unabsorbed remainder of the drug is converted to sucrose sulfate.
消失
The small absorbed fraction (3-5%) is excreted unchanged in the urine within 48 hours. The unabsorbed sucrose sulfate is excreted in the feces within 48 hours.
過剰投与
Overdosage is highly unlikely to cause any significant systemic problems due to minimal absorption. Laboratory animals receiving massive doses up to 12 grams/kg orally demonstrated no incidence of mortality. The primary concern with a massive overdose would be constipation.

Label 'shake well'.
飼主向け情報
- 投与のタイミング: この薬の最大の効果を得るために、獣医師から別の指示がない限り、空腹時(食前の少なくとも1時間前、または食後2時間)および就寝前に投与してください。
- 規則正しい投与: 投与を忘れると、胃の不調や潰瘍の臨床症状が再発する可能性があります。必ず処方通りに投与してください。
- 他の薬との間隔: スクラルファートは他の多くの薬の吸収を妨げる可能性があります。ペットが他の薬を服用している場合は、スクラルファートの投与から少なくとも2時間の間隔を空けてください。
- 投与のヒント: 錠剤を処方された場合、獣医師から、シリンジで与える前に少量のぬるま湯で錠剤を溶かして「スラリー(懸濁液)」にするよう指示されることがあります。この液状の形態は、固形の錠剤よりも食道や胃をはるかに効果的にコーティングします。
- 副作用: この薬は一般的に非常に安全です。最も一般的な副作用は軽度の便秘です。ペットが排便時にいきんだり、嘔吐が悪化したりした場合は、獣医師に連絡してください。
