Committee Recommendations (1)

05 Dec 18 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The manufacture of sucralfate tablets and suspension have been discontinued in the UK.

The PCN and gastroenterology colleagues agree that the prescribing and supply of sucralfate should remain with the hospital / specilaist.
As such, sucralfate preparations are RED on the tarffic light system.
