title: Comparative study of antacid and sucralfate suspension for acute upper gastro-intestinal hemorrhage in Chaiyaphum Hospital, Thailand.
abstract: A comparative study using antacid and sucralfate suspension in the treatment of upper G.I. hemorrhage showed that bleeding stigmenta occurred less in the sucralfate group than in the antacid group in a statistically significant number. Sucralfate therefore is an alterative preferable choice in the treatment of UGH.
