A process for the preparation of sucralfate gel, in the dry state, that does not lose its colloidal properties is disclosed. Moreover, taking into consideration the particular tropism of sucralfate gel towards the gastric mucosa and its properties of bioadhesion, the claim is extended to the use of dry sucralfate gel as a carrier for medicaments intended for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections as antibiotics, antibacterials, antiinflammatories, or in order to maintain for as long as possible antisecretory drugs, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, prostaglandins and omeprazol, in the gastric environment. |
