| 5 | Ulcer, and Restricted Esophagus | My mouth watered, I did get hot flashes and felt a little nauseated for about an hr or so but not anything that was unbearable. | I have taken many medications for GERD and Esophagus problems for years and in just one day of taking the oral version (because I can't swallow many pills) I feel like I have a new stomach seriously. I can actually eat and I have a appetite! No burning, or acid reflux or gas.. I really hope this continues to work because I need to eat! I am taking protonix also and the combination is magic for me! A day without stomach problems is a good day for me! | F | 36 | 0 days 10 2X day | 9/8/2020 | 5 | Peptic ulcer | None | So many of you taking it without a proper diagnosis. No wonder you all have side effects!!! | F | 51 | 6 weeks 2g 2X day | 8/8/2020 | 5 | Acid reflux caused by possible ulcer | Prescribed carafate in pill fo for acid reflux since I can't take ppi medications due to a different health issue.

Got my life back. | F | 62 | 4 months 1gm/2 time | 1/30/2016 | 5 | C Diff caused gastritis, IBD | Dizziness, dry mouth | I have severe gastritis and inflammation through out my small and large intestines. With in the first week it calmed down a lot. I am on other medications so I always check interactions and side effects. This drug does cause a lot of interactions with other meds so be careful how and when you take it. I only take on an empty stomach and go exactly by directions for time between medicines. Since I am on blood pressure medicine its very important it doesn't interfere with that. Right now after so much pain and being so ill I went through with C Diff this is my only option to hopefully I will get back to normal again. So I am making sure to follow everything to the letter. Or I could progress to ulcers and surgery. So that makes me so glad to have this and take it. | F | 57 | 90 days 1 GM 3X day | 12/20/2015 | 5 | IBS-D and Gastritis | Dizziness | This medicine worked very well after tried so many other medicine, such as Prevacid, Zenpep, etc. | F | 80 | 12 days 5ml 3X day | 11/16/2015 | 5 | nausea & vomiting after gastric byp | No side effects noted. | F | 51 | 3 months 1 gm | 8/24/2015 | 5 | Gerd | I started taking carafate 3 days ago. I am really pleased but i have experience some headaches,but my biggest concern is the memory loss is this something i should be concerned about | I haven't experience any memory loss i was just reading side effects.thank you | F | 48 | 4 days 10Ml | 6/24/2015 | 5 | doxycycline hyclate damage | short term memory loss.

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)
