Abstract

A preparation containing an aluminum salt of a sucrose sulfate ester (sucralfate) and polyethylene glycol, and a process for preparation of the same are disclosed. Sucralfate is extensively used as a curative for digestive ulcers and has the capability of protecting the substrate protein. Sucralfate is mixed with polyethylene glycol to provide it with improved disintegrability and dispersibility and this renders sucralfate more useful as a medicine.
