5 | GERD AND REFLUX | AFTER 3 MONTHS CONSTIPATION STARTED | BEEN ON 3 DIFFERENT PILLS NEXIUM, PRILOSEC, PROTONICS---- CARAFATE IS WORKING MUCH BETTER | M | 70 | 3 months 10 MG 4X day | 8/26/2010 | 5 | Reflux | None | I was prescribed the liquid by my GI to get my out of control reflux problem under control. It is very easy to take - almost pleasant. It worked wonders! It did the trick like no other medication(s)has. | M | 55 | 3 weeks | 10/4/2008 | 5 | Excess Stomach Acid - reflux | None | Worked extremely well. | M | 48 | 3 weeks | 11/1/2008 | 5 | doxycycline hyclate damage | short term memory loss. Slight dizziness as expected from this. | This thing works wonders.... my immidiate flamethrower pain when eating is reduced to a slight sting on my lower right breast.. | M | 31 | 2 days 2 TSP 4X day | 7/24/2014 | 4 | Volcal chord cancer | Have not yet really noticed much... Had radiation therapy on a tumor on a vocal cord... Really helps my sore throat.... Made it much easier to eat... :-) | M | 52 | 3 weeks 40ml | 8/26/2014 | 4 | stomach ulcer | None | Unlike prilosec or zantac, this drug has had no side effects. It is gradually reducing stomach pain. I think it works well. | M | 53 | 30 days | 9/23/2009 | 4 | Indegestion , pains in stomach | None | Has worked great for my stomach pains that I guess are caused from Gastritus which the doctor seems to think I have..Hard to take 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals..other than that it works great... | M | 51 | 7 days 1 GM 3X day | 3/15/2012 | 3 | Gastritis | Crushing headache, dizzy/lightheaded, brain fog, inner tremors, constipation and insomnia. Not sure which is worse...the side effects or the gastritis pain. This worked for relieving the gastritis but I'm going to try something else. This stuff is expensive too | M | 49 | 7 days 10mg | 7/30/2012 | 3 | esophogus | rash around the bottom lip | M | 29 | 4 days | 3/23/2009 | 3 | M | 2 months | 5/16/2006 | 3 | Gastritis | Terrible long lasting headaches after about three weeks. | Will try to spread out dose to mitigate side effect. | M | 43 | 1 months 4xD | 2/24/2016 | 3 | Gastritis | I'm not sure if it was (seasonal) allergies, nerves, or what... But a sticky feeling in my throat and feeling of something catching in my throat.... Also coughed a little and sore throat. | Other than that.... What a blessing.... I already was talking Pepcid for the gastritis and that killed some of the acid and pain, but the carafate killed it off entirely... The doctor wants me to take it 4x's a day (there was signs of minute traces of blood in my stool; doctor believed that it was just aggravated stomach, and not yet quite an ulcer), but between the Pepcid and Maalox and bland diet, I'm wondering if 2xs a day would be sufficient. Considering my anxiety disorder, I can't help but think that a lot of the feeling that I have with the medication isn't mental. | M | 30 | 1 days 1gm | 9/24/2016 | 3 | Post infection syndrome | Insomnia, nausea, stomach gurgling | M | 49 | 3 months 1g | 1/1/2020 | 3 | Ulcers and gastritis | Shortness of breath, continued stomach discomfort. | Losing faith in the drug and treatment. | M | 81 | 17 months 30 | 3/1/2020 | 3 | Possible ulcer | Sometimes shortness on breath | M | 35 | 4 days 1 mg | 5/31/2020 | 3 | Possible ulcer | Nausea Shakiness Heart palpitations | Took carafate with protonix for a few months then got relief. Symptoms came back (chest pain) so I'm taking them again. Some side effects but worth it as pain is lessening. | M | 55 | 6 months 1gm 2X day | 1/16/2021 | 3 | Gastritis, duodenitis | anxiety, shakiness and insomnia | M | 47 | 10 days 1GM 3X day | 3/27/2021 | 3 | Stomach lining | Soreness in the left rib area and top of stomach. | M | 58 | 35 days 40mg 4X day | 3/2/2023 | 2 | Gastritis, HH | Throat always feels wet. Minor to no improvement | M | 39 | 14 days 1gm 4X day | 2/9/2021 | 2 | IBS | I have noticed anxiety that is nuts. I have middle back pain between my shoulders. I still feel bloated. I have an MRI next week. Hopefully when I'm off this in 3 days, I'll begin to feel better. | No | M | 56 | 7 days 1000 mg 4X day | 1/14/2021 |
CARAFATE (SUCRALFATE): This medication is used to treat ulcers in the intestines. Sucralfate forms a coating over ulcers, protecting the area from further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
