I have been using daflon 500 mg since March 25th 4 tablets twice a daily to cure hemorrhoids and I am feeling much better now but it seems I should continue using this medicine for complete cure. I am wondering for how long I should use it. Thanks for your reply ## Hello, I am working on Sucralfate. Anyone with similar interest? ## Daflon is actually a supplement given to help with such conditions, it is not, however, a medication. As such, there is no harm in its use, as long as you are not taking far too much and only your doctor could really advise you as to whether or not you should continue to use it for them. What has your doctor suggested? As to the Sucralfate, we do have a page with some information here: Are there any questions? ## medicine DAFLON 500 mg, is what for? and what ...

Can I drink milk immediately after I take sucralfate with water? Also, can I take a probiotic with sucralfate? ## Can I take probiotics with sucralfate 1gm 3x a day ## Hello Vince, According to the manufacturer's directions Sucralfate is to be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water so the body can properly absorb the medication. This would be the appropriate way to take the medication unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Reportedly it is safe to consume food and beverages 30 minutes after or 1 hour before taking this medication. I was unable to find any interactions listed between Sucralfate and probiotics but please be mindful that when preparing to mix any type of medications it is important to consult your doctor and primary care physician.

Can Rablet and Sucralfate be taken together? I've been taking Rablet for more than two years with just a gap of a week or two in between. Will I have any side effects? Or can I carry on taking it? ## I have been unable to find any specific information on taking these two medications together. Perhaps your pharmacist or prescribing doctor can help you with this query. Good luck. ## Rablet is reported to contain the active ingredient Rabeprazole. I did not find interactions listed between Rabeprazole and Sucralfate [1]. But as Lesia stated, you should double check with your doctor or pharmacist so that they can cross reference any other medications that you are taking.

I was getting pain pills from my doctor and then they switched them. I found some blue pills that have Watson 780 on them. I want to know if it is my Hydrocodones or not.

prescribed for my dog would like to know what it is and side affects ## Dog has diabetes ## I will admit that I am not terribly familiar with medicating canines, however, from what I've managed to find, it seems to be used in dogs in a similar way to the way it's used in humans. It is a gastro-intestinal medication, mainly used to treat ulcers, but also some gases of GERD. Common listed side effects include: nausea, headache and constipation, but I have no idea if these would be the same for dogs. You can read more about the medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## She asked about sucralsate You answered about sucralfate? No indication it’s the same drug!!

It's an oblong white tablet with the number 105 105 on one half and 105 on the other half and biocraft on the back ## I found a large white oblong tablet that has biocraft on one side and 3/3 on the other. I am trying to find out what it is? ## The tablet with Biocraft 105 105 marking is now manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 1g of Sucralfate, which is commonly used to treat gastro-intestinal issues, such as ulcers. I am not sure if Teva still manufactures this, as of 2018. The FA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain, and constipation.

my daughter, 17, has had nausea for three weeks most likely due to the overuse of painkillers for migraine headaches and NSAIDs. Sucralsate was given to her and now her nausea tripled. Don't know how to undo what has been done. Any suggestions to lessen the nausea either from this or other options. She's on PPI but doesn't seem to be working. It's the nausea that bothering her more than stomach pain. ## Has she tried any alternative antacids, such as Pepcid, which contains the active ingredient Famotidine? In some people, the PPIs can worsen nausea, stomach pain and other symptoms, so they may not be the best choice for them to use. I had a similar problem, until I finally got lucky and an ER doctor determined that the PPI that had been prescribed for me was contributing...

I started sucralfate 1 gram and because I have difficulty swallowing large tablets I cut it into 4 pieces.

does this product have aluminum in it. does it interact with floxitine and also can it be takin at the same time or 2 hours later to work well. does it work good alone for acid reflex? does it work for the better if you have a hihanial hunea? how differant is it fro ranidine twicw a day? ## Hello, Cheryl! How are you? Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 1gram of Sucralfate, so no aluminum and I didn't find any interactions listed between them in the NIH databases. It's a gastric protective agent, which means it coats your gastro areas, to help prevent further damage and to allow any current injuries to heal. Ranitidine is an antacid, so it works by helping to neutralize some of you stomach acid, but it doesn't coat such areas, so it may not always help to he...

I'm currently prescribed 4 sucralfates per day, and 2 omeprazole. The instructions for sucralfate state do not take any other medications within 2 hours of taking this. This makes the windows for taking this extremely small. Is it okay to take both sucralfate and omeprazole together if I ever fall behind? ## Hello, John! How are you? No, it is best to follow the instructions provided with the medication and not take it with anything else. The Omeprazole may affect the absorption of the Sucralfate. Sucralfate is used for the short-term treatment of certain intestinal ulcers. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness and constipation. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Its typical sid...
