Summary
Sucralfate binds to thyroid hormone analogues in the gut and may substantially reduce their absorption. This can lead to inadequate thyroid hormone effect.

Sucralfate and Tiratricol can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Sucralfate belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Tiratricol belongs to Endocrine.
Why it happens
