Hepatotoxicity related to sucralfate.
Sucralfate is a well-established drug in the therapy of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Its adverse reactions are rare, where constipation is the most common side effect. Liver injury due to sucralfate has not been previously reported. We describe an elderly patient with significant liver injury accompanied with pruritus during treatment with sucralfate.
