Sucralfate other names?

What other names does sucralfate go by?

How to recognize sucralfate on a medication label

If you are trying to identify it without a brand name, look for the active ingredient sucralfate on the label or prescription. Even when the product name changes, the active ingredient is what determines whether it is the same medicine.

Are there different formulations (and does that change the name)?

Yes. Sucralfate can come in different strengths and forms (for example, tablets vs. liquid suspensions). The product name may vary by formulation, but it should still list sucralfate as the active ingredient.
