What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Carafate Overview
Carafate is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the intestines. Sucralfate forms a coating over ulcers, protecting the area from further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly.
How to Use Carafate
Take this medicine by mouth, usually 2 to 4 times daily, on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before a meal, or as directed by your doctor. The Dosage of Carafate is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Use Carafate regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Keep taking Carafate even if you do not feel ulcer pain. Do not stop taking Carafate without consulting your doctor. It may take 4 to 8 weeks for your ulcer to heal completely. Some medications may not work as well if you take them at the same time as sucralfate. They may need to be taken at a different time of the day than the time you take sucralfate. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for help making a dosing schedule that will work with all your medications. Antacids can be used with this medicine, but they should be taken at least 30 minutes before or after sucralfate. Inform your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse after you have been taking sucralfate for 4 weeks.
