PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS IN THE FORM OF STABLE SUCRALFATE SUSPENSIONS FREE OF SUSPENDING AGENTS

摘要

Pharmaceutical compositions in the form of stable sucralfate suspensions free of suspending agents, wherein the sucralfate is present in the form of a gel having self-suspending properties and is suspended in an aqueous carbohydrate solution in a quantity of between 1 and 40% of sucralfate by weight. Said gel has a surface area exceeding 200 m2/g and is prepared by dissolving powdered sucralfate in an HCl solution and then precipitating it with an NaOH solution added to a pH of between 4 and 4.5.
