Abstract
Sucralfate drug is well known for its miraculous effects on gastroduodenal mucosa and its therapeutic effects on peptic ulcer, but its mechanism of action is still a mystery. This drug administration of 3g daily for 4-6 weeks is an effective treatment on gastric bicarbonate secretion. Our observational study was focused on gastric bicarbonate secretion in 14 healthy smokers and 11 healthy age and sex-matched nonsmoker volunteers. The outcome of the study suggested that smokers produced low gastric bicarbonate secretions as compared to non-smokers.
