I was taking it for GERD (like i have in the past...except i took a white pill before... i didnt get any side effects and it healed me) now, I got the pink pills and they have absolutely made me far worse than i ever was. I have severe, watery diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, floating sensations, intense gas, and shaking. I just want to get better. I feel so awful. This pink carafate pill has ruined my life :''( | They are very hard to swallow. I choked a few times and had to resort to dissolving them completely in water and drinking it. | F | 30 | 1 months 1gm 4x | 5/1/2019 | 3 | Gastritis | Tingling and numbness in my left wrist, fingers, elbow, and upper arm feeling like squeezing, was thinking it was a heart problem but after seeing this the reviews l have the same thing as someone else. I also hope it’s not a dangerous side affect | F | 56 | 6 days 1Gm 4x day | 4/9/2019 | 3 | Bile in my stomach | Numbness In arms, fingers, wrists. Some joint pain but hoping that's not a dangerous side effect. | F | 63 | 15 days | 2/27/2019 | 4 | Massive abdominal pain, | It stopped the pain , but it makes food taste terrible, mine is the liquid and its 10 mls 4 x per day ..but when I woke up this morning my front of my neck hurt so bad . So I don't know it's day 2 ..and the only thing i like is no pain | F | 47 | 8 weeks 10ml | 2/26/2019 | 5 | Gastritis | Mouth watery,metallic taste mild stomach ache but tolerable, from 10 mg 2x a day Im cutting down cause I also take 40 of nexium and I eat bland foods | F | 64 | 3 months 2 tspx a d | 1/8/2019 | 1 | Ulcer | Horrible gas and diahrrea. Metal taste in mouth, headache and dizziness. | F | 59 | 2 days 1mg | 6/24/2018 | 5 | Ulcer | None | After taking Omeprazole and other PPIs, I was having little no relief for an entire 6 weeks. My doctor put me on this and I’m so glad he did! My ulcers were cleared up and I finally feel like myself again. I can eat more and my appetite returned. Definitely recommend to anyone suffering the same problem! | F | 22 | 0 days 1 gram | 6/23/2018 | 2 | severe heartburn | Maybe I'm not on it long enough? But sometimes it will actually activate the heartburn when not having any! I also feel extremely shaky and nervous and weak a few hours after taking it. THAT could be mental as I have anxiety, but this seems different somehow. Hey, I don't mind the taste at all! To me it tastes like a liquid form of those Smartie candies! I was only prescribed it for 10 days, doctor seems to think my severe stress is causing an overload of acid. I will take it the whole 10 days, maybe it's just not in my system enough yet. | F | 59 | 5 days 10ml 3X day | 3/24/2018 | 5 | CVS on ROB thru pic line 24 he day | None had to stop taking because it was covered by my insurance and cost me $50 through Humana and one day when I went to refill the liquid version was $2000. The man next to me with United Heath Care had the same problem. | Anyone know the reason for the huge jump in cost for the liquid version | 48 | 3 months | 1/6/2018 | 4 | Gastritis bile reflux | I can't say that it makes me feel better when taking it. But when I have a flare up and I stop taking it after 2 weeks I feel better. I tried not taking it at all with a flare up and flare up doesn't go away. I guess it helps. | F | 53 | 0 years | 11/3/2017 | 5 | For my ulcers | None that i know of when i take it takes shortness ofbreath away | F | 54 | 3 years | 10/22/2017 | 3 | Barrett's esophagus | it has helped my ulcers and my esophagus, but it has left me with shortness of breath and I've had a very hard time breathing. so I have to find another solution and stop taking it | F | 54 | 10 days | 10/8/2017 | 5 | Barratts oesaphageus | Dry throat when swallowing. | Complete cure. Heartburn cured. | F | 69 | 15 days 2 tablets | 7/22/2017 | 3 | Gastritis | dizziness, chills, nausea | It seems to help the pain and nausea from gastritis but I have trouble functioning with side effects. I am only taking 1 ml, rx says 10 and doctor told me to take 2 ml because I am underweight and very sensitive to meds | F | 67 | 5 days 2 ml 2X day | 7/14/2017 | 5 | Admitted to ER with extreme gastritis | Slight nausea but I was also given pepsid, valium and morphine. Perhaps the combination caused nausea. | I'd never heard of it until that ER visit. | F | 60 | 1 days 1 gram li | 4/3/2017 | 4 | Reflux, Hiatal hernia | Mouth dryness was very distracting, tried to decrease. Was able to almost get off carafte, but after bronchitis and asthma , symptoms came back with a vegence. Burning in esophagus, gi distress, inner tremors and brain fog. Can't take ppi's, so I'll have to live with symptoms. Glad I found this site and learned others have similar side effects! | F | 73 | 4 years | 2/21/2017 | 4 | acid reflux | Back pain still get a bit of heartburn and ingestion dizziness hot fever | Is a good medicine to take hope I feel better with it soon | F | 41 | 2 months 1mg | 12/31/2016 |
