Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Sucralfate 40 mg/ml Rectal Enema is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions. This unique formulation combines sucralfate, a medication primarily used to treat ulcers, with a rectal enema, a delivery method that ensures the medication is applied directly to the affected area.

The sucralfate component of this formulation works by creating a protective coating over the ulcer or inflamed area, which aids in reducing pain and inflammation. The rectal enema component ensures the medication is delivered directly to the area in need, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. This formulation is contained in pre-filled enema bottles, providing a ready-to-use liquid solution that offers a measured dose for easy and controlled application, eliminating the need for additional preparation.
