Hi Dear ! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.
Carafate (sucralfat) is a good drug to treat stomach or
duodenal ulcer , is more specific to that.But yes you can use Carafate while you take lansoprazol (
prevacid ) but you have to be careful when to take it. It will help by protecting your esophageal mucosa from the stomach acid .
I will give you advices how to take it, so it will not decrease the effect of prevacid .
Take Carafate with an empty stomach (2 h before meal or 1-2h after meal).
The time between Carafate and Prevacid should be at least 1 hour ( don't take Carafate less than 1 your before or after prevacid .)
You can take up to 2 teaspoon every time , up to 4 times a day .
Cause Carafate contain Aluminium so if you have any sign of
constipation ,
drowsiness,
convulsion stop it immediately.
You should feel better max in 1 week.
Wish you good health.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.
