Pre-Filled Sucralfate Enemas
Rock Ridge Pharmacy compounds Pre-Filled Sucralfate Enemas to provide targeted rectal therapy, inflammation management, and mucosal healing, offering a focused option when standard treatments may not fully resolve symptoms.
Pre-Filled Sucralfate Enemas: Targeted Rectal & Colon Support
Sucralfate is a mucosal protective agent that coats and shields the lining of the rectum and colon, promoting healing and reducing irritation.
Delivered as a pre-filled enema, Sucralfate provides direct, localized therapeutic effects, reducing inflammation, soothing pain, and supporting tissue recovery in the lower gastrointestinal tract.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, we prepare Sucralfate enemas in USP <795> / <800>-compliant facilities, ensuring precision, sterility, and personalized care for each patient.
How Do Pre-Filled Sucralfate Enemas Work?
Mucosal Protection
Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over inflamed or damaged rectal and colonic tissue, shielding it from irritation and promoting recovery.
Anti-Inflammatory Relief
Helps reduce local inflammation, making it valuable for conditions like radiation proctitis, ulcerative colitis, and anorectal irritation.
Healing Support
Encourages tissue repair and restoration of rectal and colonic mucosa, enhancing comfort and recovery.
