Begin with the correct amount of sucralfate powder. For typical adult doses, aim for 1 gram. Carefully add a small amount of water, approximately 1 to 2 milliliters, to a clean container.
Slowly incorporate the sucralfate powder into the water, constantly stirring to prevent clumping. Use a small spoon or spatula for thorough mixing. A smooth, paste-like consistency is the goal. Avoid creating a watery or excessively thick slurry.
Add water incrementally, mixing continuously, until the desired consistency is reached. The final product should be a smooth, pourable slurry without lumps. This usually requires approximately 5 to 10 milliliters of water total, but adjust based on the final texture.
Once prepared, immediately administer the sucralfate slurry. Avoid storing the prepared slurry as its consistency and efficacy may change over time. Discard any unused portion.
Always consult a healthcare professional for dosage and administration instructions. This guide provides general preparation guidelines only and should not replace professional medical advice. Remember to read and follow all directions on your specific sucralfate product labeling.
