Sucralfate
Generic alternative to Carafate
Sucralfate is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent ulcers in the intestines. It works by creating a protective barrier on the ulcer surface, which helps to heal the ulcer and protect it from further damage by stomach acid and other digestive enzymes.
How is this medication used?
Sucralfate is usually prescribed to be taken orally, with a common dosage being four times a day on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals, and at bedtime. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely regarding dosage and timing.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of sucralfate may include constipation, dry mouth, upset stomach, gas, and dizziness. Less common but more serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue.
What are the potential interactions?
Sucralfate can interact with a wide range of medications by inhibiting their absorption. Therefore, it is advised to take other medications at least 2 hours before or after sucralfate. Particular drugs that may interact include antacids, certain antibiotics, and medications for managing chronic conditions, among others.
