If you are to give Sucralfate and Mylanta at the same time, it is confusing which one is given first.
Sucralfate does not coats the stomach. It coats the area of ulceration and it helps the area of ulceration to heal, it does not attach to the intact membranes of the gastric cavity. It only attaches to the area that has ulcer. So you always give the Sucralfate first so it can attach to the area, if you give Mylanta first- Mylanta coats everything. So if you give Mylanta first and then give the Sucralfate there is no point is there?
