User Reviews for Carafate oral

I have a hiatal hernia and GERD. My stomach pain was severe, so my doctor prescribed Carafate to take with my Nexium. I've been taking the medicine for a week and it has greatly reduced my reflux and stomach pain. I can actually sleep lying down now. Hopefully it will help my erosions in my stomach heal faster. I have not noticed any adverse side effects except for the dry mouth. That is more tolerated than the stomach pain by far.

Husband has hiatial hernia so Dr. prescribed to help with the pain and to help heal it when it flares up. Seems to help but takes a few days to work. Hard to take 1 hour before eating but can be taken 1 hour after also which is usually what he does. He takes in conjunction with an acid reducer which seems to help more.

The veternarian prescribed for my pug after he ate bannana boat suncreen he had a really upset stomach. Vomitting has stopped he seems to feel better. He is taking half a pill twice a day for a week.

I have been on this medication for the past 2 months, taking it 3x a day. I have a hiatel hernia and my esophogas was distressed from acid reflux every nite. Since taking the drug, I am free of acid reflux and the damage to my esophogas has healed.

the doctors weren't quite sure what to do with my pain, i went to the er one night and the dr. gave me this. now grant it i still have pain when i take it but when i take it i can atleast tollerate it. i now have learned that iinstead of it maybe being an ulcer related problem that it's more than likely my galbladder and i'm having surgery done teusday to have it taken out.

sick to stomach all the time

After gastric bypass, developed ulcer in anastomosis, taking carafate for eight months, still not healing. What's that aftertaste flavor attributed to? It's like a menthol flavor.

Since i started taken carafate my systems for ra have gotten worst.

although this medicine works well to stop the bleeding from gastric varices, it is a bit on the pricey side, medicare & some private prescription insurers won't pay for it.

This med for me is 4 times a day. Not bad really. But it seems to make my stomach more upset and crampy then without it. I was "blessed" with my ulcer in my esophagus & stomach by an antibiotic that was stuck in my esophagus horizontially for several hours one morning while I slept after taking the morning dose on an empty stomach with too little to drink. Won't do that again. So it does work but not sure how effective for me.

Seems to work great. No pain when taking it. Must shake well.

I have a stomach ulcer and the doctor precribed to let my stomach and yet all it is doing is making me more sick to my stomach.

started a week ago wonderful .highly recommended

I am taking this medicine to help with the pain and healing of an ulcer in my esophagus. I was instructed to take this medicine 4 times a day for 2 weeks. It is sometimes difficult to time this medicine 1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating, so I did not stick to the schedule of 4 times a day. But this medicine has worked for me, although I take it now as needed - whenever I feel pain. It seems to upset my stomach if I take it before bedtime.
