Carafate Suspension contains the active ingredient sucralfate. It is a prescription medication used to treat active duodenal ulcers.
Carafate Suspension is used for the short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcers.
A duodenal ulcer is a sore that develops in the first part of the small intestine, just beyond the stomach.
Treatment may continue for up to 8 weeks, depending on how well the ulcer is healing.
Carafate works mainly by forming a protective coating over the ulcer.
This barrier helps protect the damaged area from stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and bile.
By shielding the ulcer from further irritation, Carafate gives the tissue time to heal.
Carafate does not work by greatly reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
Instead, it protects the ulcer directly while the area heals.
For best results, take Carafate Suspension exactly as prescribed and complete the recommended treatment period.
Take Carafate Suspension exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
For an active duodenal ulcer, the usual dose is 1 gram (10 mL) four times daily.
Take it on an empty stomach, usually:
Shake the bottle well before every dose.
Use a medication measuring cup, spoon, or oral syringe to measure the correct amount. Do not use a household teaspoon.
Try to take Carafate at the same times each day.
Even if your ulcer pain improves, continue taking the medication for the full time prescribed.
Ulcer healing may take about 4 to 8 weeks.
Carafate can reduce the absorption of some medications.
You may need to take other medicines at a different time of day. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist how to space your medications safely.
Antacids
You may use antacids while taking Carafate, but do not take them within 30 minutes before or after a Carafate dose.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve after about 4 weeks or if they become worse.
Do not stop Carafate on your own unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Carafate Suspension (Sucralfate) is available in the following forms and strength:
Carafate Suspension contains aluminum.
Small amounts of aluminum can be absorbed into the body. People with normal kidney function usually remove this aluminum through the urine.
If you have severe kidney disease or are receiving dialysis, aluminum may build up in your body and cause serious problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease before using Carafate Suspension.
Carafate can reduce the absorption of some medications.
Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.
Some medicines may need to be taken at a different time from Carafate.
For several known interactions, taking the other medication at least 2 hours before Carafate can help prevent reduced absorption. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can help you create a safe dosing schedule.
Do not take Carafate Suspension if you are allergic to sucralfate or any ingredient in the medication.
Seek medical attention right away if you develop swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or throat, severe rash, or trouble breathing.
Constipation is the most commonly reported side effect of sucralfate.
Tell your healthcare provider if constipation becomes severe or does not improve.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of severe digestive problems, especially conditions that slow stomach emptying or make it difficult for food to move through the digestive tract.
Rarely, sucralfate can contribute to the formation of a solid mass called a bezoar, especially in people with delayed stomach emptying or those receiving tube feeding.
High blood sugar has been reported in some people with diabetes who take sucralfate oral suspension.
If you have diabetes, your healthcare provider may recommend closer blood sugar monitoring and may adjust your diabetes medication if needed.
Antacids may be used with Carafate, but they should not be taken within 30 minutes before or after a Carafate dose.
Follow your healthcare provider or pharmacist’s instructions about how to space these medications.
Take Carafate Suspension exactly as prescribed.
Do not take more than recommended or change your dosing schedule without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Treatment for an active duodenal ulcer usually lasts 4 to 8 weeks. Continue taking Carafate for the full time prescribed, even if your symptoms improve sooner. Your healthcare provider will decide how long treatment should continue based on how well your ulcer is healing.
Carafate Suspension should usually be taken on an empty stomach, about 1 hour before meals and at bedtime. It can also reduce the absorption of certain medications and supplements. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist how to space Carafate from your other medicines.
Carafate Suspension is mainly prescribed for active duodenal ulcers. Healthcare providers may sometimes use sucralfate for other digestive conditions when they believe it may be helpful. These uses should only be followed under medical supervision.
No. Carafate Suspension is a prescription medication. It should be used only as directed by a healthcare provider.
