Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Sucralfate is an established nonsystemic, locally acting antiulcer agent.
  • Its efficacy is recognized for duodenal ulcer disease and other gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Clinical investigation into sucralfate for caustic esophagitis is limited.

Observation:

  • This report presents a case of lye-induced esophagitis.
  • The patient's condition was treated with sucralfate.
  • The treatment outcomes were documented.

Findings:

  • Sucralfate demonstrated potential in managing caustic esophagitis.
  • The case suggests a possible therapeutic role for sucralfate in this condition.

Implications:

  • Sucralfate may offer a treatment option for caustic esophagitis.
  • Further clinical studies are warranted to confirm its efficacy and safety.
  • This finding could expand the therapeutic applications of sucralfate.
