Are you Looking to Buy Carafate (Sucralfate) from PrescriptionPoint.

Carafate (sucralfate) 

Indications

Carafate is prescribed to treat and manage duodenal ulcers and other conditions involving inflammation or irritation in the upper gastrointestinal tract. 

Dosage and Administration

• Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. 
• Take the medication on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. 
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it’s almost time for your next dose. 
• Do not crush or chew the tablets. 
• Do not take antacids within 30 minutes before or after taking the tablet. 
• Do not take other medications within 2 hours of taking Carafate, as it may interfere with their absorption. 
• Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider. 

Mechanism of Action

Carafate works by forming a protective barrier on the surface of ulcers. It binds to the ulcer site and forms a coating that protects it from stomach acid, allowing the ulcer to heal. This action is local and not systemic, meaning it works directly where it is needed without significant absorption into the bloodstream.

There are no specific contraindications for Carafate.
