General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To ensure adequate absorption from the intestines and to get the most benefit from it, Lansoprazole should always be taken on an empty stomach (usually breakfast) one hour before a meal. Since Sucralfate may bind to other medications, impairing their absorption hence it should it should be taken on an empty stomach, 2 hours after or 1 hour before meals. These medications should not be taken together.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
