Carafate Suspension (active ingredient: sucralfate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Duodenal Ulcers: Carafate Suspension is used in the treatment of active duodenal ulcers, promoting healing and providing relief from associated symptoms.
  2. Prevention of Ulcer Recurrence: It is also indicated for the maintenance therapy of duodenal ulcer patients to prevent ulcer recurrence.

Carafate Suspension belongs to a class of drugs known as gastrointestinal agents, which work by forming a protective barrier over ulcers, shielding them from stomach acid and allowing them to heal.

Take Carafate Suspension by mouth, usually 2 teaspoonful 4 times daily on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before a meal or as directed by your doctor. To get the most benefit from Carafate Suspension, take it regularly at the same times each day. Shake the bottle well before each dose.

The recommended dosage and administration of Carafate Suspension for duodenal ulcers is 1 gram (10 mL) four times daily, administered on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals and at bedtime. It is important to shake the bottle well before each use. Do not stop taking Carafate Suspension without consulting your doctor, even if you do not feel the pain of ulcers. The healing of ulcers may take 4 to 8 weeks.

Some medications may need to be taken at a different time of day than Carafate Suspension. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for help making a dosing schedule that will work with all your medications. Antacids can be used with Carafate Suspension, but they should be taken at least 30 minutes before or after sucralfate. If your condition lasts or gets worse after taking sucralfate for 4 weeks, inform your doctor.
