Abstract

Sucralfate containing preparations which contain both an organic acid having at least two carboxyl groups or at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and sucralfate are described. The sucralfate containing preparations have enhanced sucralfate adhesion to the mucosal ulcer site even under a nonacidic condition and can be extensively applied not only to ulcers in the upper digestive tract such as esophagitis and duodenal ulcer but also to ulcers in the lower digestive tract such as proctitis and ulcerative colitis, as well as to dermal ulcers such as bedsores, stomatitis and the like.
