What is Carafate and why is it prescribed?
Carafate is a unique oral drug. Chemically, Carafate is a complex of the disaccharide sugar, sucrose, combined with sulfate and aluminum. Carafate (tablets and suspension) are used for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) of an active duodenal ulcer. Carafate Tablets are also used for longer-term therapy at a reduced dosage after a duodenal ulcer has healed. Carafate is minimally absorbed into the body, and its actions are entirely on the lining of the stomach and duodenum. Carafate helps ulcers heal by forming a protective coating over them. Some doctors also prescribe Carafate for ulcers in the mouth and esophagus that develop during cancer therapy, for digestive tract irritation caused by drugs, for long-term treatment of stomach ulcers, and to relieve pain following tonsil removal. How does Carafate work (Carafate Mechanism). Carafate is a medicine that contains a complex of aluminium hydroxide and sulphated sucrose. Carafate is taken to aid the healing of ulcers in the stomach and upper intestine (duodenum). Carafate is not absorbed from the gut. Carafate works by binding to the exudate produced from the ulcer site on the lining of the gut, and forming a protective barrier over the ulcer. This protects the ulcer from stomach acid and digestive enzymes, giving it time to it heal. |
