Sucralfate

Generic name: Sucralfate
Brand names: Carafate

Why is Sucralfate prescribed?

Sucralfate Tablets and Suspension are used for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) of an active duodenal ulcer; Sucralfate Tablets are also used for longer-term therapy at a reduced dosage after a duodenal ulcer has healed.

Sucralfate helps ulcers heal by forming a protective coating over them.

Some doctors also prescribe Sucralfate for ulcers in the mouth and esophagus that develop during cancer therapy, for digestive tract irritation caused by drugs, for long-term treatment of stomach ulcers, and to relieve pain following tonsil removal.

Most important fact about Sucralfate

A duodenal ulcer is a recurring illness. While Sucralfate can cure an acute ulcer, it cannot prevent other ulcers from developing or lessen their severity.

How should you take Sucralfate?

Sucralfate works best when taken on an empty stomach. If you take an antacid to relieve pain, avoid doing it within one-half hour before or after you take Sucralfate. Always take Sucralfate exactly as prescribed.

--If you miss a dose...

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.

--Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature. Protect the suspension from freezing.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Sucralfate.

More common side effects may include:
Constipation

Why should Sucralfate not be prescribed?

There are no restrictions on the use of Sucralfate.

Special warnings about Sucralfate

If you have kidney failure or are on dialysis, the doctor will be cautious about prescribing Sucralfate. Use of Sucralfate while taking aluminum-containing antacids may increase the possibility of aluminum poisoning in those with kidney failure.
