After l added this to my PPI it made a huge difference. So far it's really working well for me
Definitely helped me with Gastritis symptoms though it may have caused some nausea. Still overall a great medication.
been a life changer for me
How many months you recovered from gastritis?
I'm taking this for esophageal damage from radiation therapy. It has the rare distinction of being a drug that helped noticeably from the first dose.
Wow, did it help you? I just got it prescribed for chronic gastritis.
@@Ela-eh3hm did it heal you ?
Did it work?
Thanks for this! Was just prescribed Sucralfate and Pantoprazole yesterday
Has it worked for u? Any side of effects they gave me the same thing this week
@@griselgarcia3677 the Sucralfate was a month long regimen while the pantoprazole is on going. I had a complete feeling of relief within a couple of days. So long as I’m taking the pantoprazole daily my symptoms are pretty much gone
Wat were ur symtons bro
@@flyingknee8069 extreme acid pain that didn’t go away. I was probably up to about 12 Tums a day no matter what I ate. At one point I coughed lightly and bile came up, that was when I finally scheduled with the doctor. I should have scheduled sooner.
The thing was it happened gradually over years and I didn’t realize how bad I felt constantly. Once the pain was gone it was eye opening
Please how did u use both the sucralfate and pantoprazole
The doc prescribed it for chronic erosive gastritis.. after a week of use , I started to feel nauseous, especially when I am on a vehicle.. it's been a year now and the symptoms are still there..it just messed up my stomach more.
I was prescribed this 4 x day.
It’s helping me because I’ve mild symptoms now of GERD, not chronic as before.
The inconvenience part it’s dividing this med into 6 hrs apart and 2 hrs before or after eating or taken other meds. It also doesn’t play to well with other meds, if taking in conjunction. Always gotta wait at least 2 hrs in between (my G.I doctor told me).
Have you tried to sleep in an elevated position? Your diet shouldn’t be any dairies, fried or hot spicy food.
I hope you get well soon friend.
Cheers from NYC 🗽
Ginger and Trikuta helped end most reflux challenges.
😎
@@logan5326did this medication help you?
I was prescribed this for acute gastritis. Dosage 1 pill 4x/day for 5 days. Is that long enough to heal the inflammation? It's not easy to schedule this through the day or relative to when I take other meds. If I still have symptoms when I have finished the Rx, would I typically continue to take it with an extended (repeated) prescription? What are side effects? Thanks.
How r u now?
I’m terrified of new meds n they just prescribed this to me n an acid reflux pill
Me too have you tried it at all? I have esophagitus and they want me on both. I’m scared
@@kyleclause I just got prescribed to this. I dont wanna take it. I kind of dont trust medicine
@@underrated7725 same here the sucralfate seemed to be fine for a couple days but screw omeprazole made me feel weird
@@kyleclause omeprazole 20mg is a waste of time it don’t work
@@edsonbengala yeah it really is. It made things worse, gave me anxiety and my food wasn’t being fully digested.
I mean I guess it worked for me when I’ve taken about 2 bottles of it already over the past year. My stomach just kinda felt numb after I took it and didn’t exactly feel good :/
Just started taking the suspension for LPR. There were no directions on how to take. Do I take with water as it is already in liquid form?
Good information but you didn’t tell us how to take it and what we can take with it
Thank you
help with stomach aches also ? Like food poisoning
Hey doc will this help have funtional depepsyia ibs gerd iv alot of bloating hunger pain main symtoms small bit of redness there .thanks david
I'm taking Sucralfate with a ppi. What's the best way to take both drugs without losing its effect?
Hey, how is the ppi and carafate working for you?. I’m thinking of using both for my gastritis
@@itsmoree1137 I am also on these meds for a month now and it helped me alot but I still do get symptoms here and there .
I came for the info but stayed for Adonis. No disrespect but smart and handsome ❤❤❤❤😂
He looks tired
Hi my Mom had a bleeding ulcer they cauterized it. she is taking Protonix twice a day. after she got scoped a 2nd time by another Dr he stopped the 2nd drug sucrafate. she was taking that 4 times a day. the sucrfate was stopped about 3 weeks after cauterized procedure. it seems like her discomfort in her upper abdomen has become worse. do u think they shouldnt have stop sucrfate?
If it stays and stick to lesion or cracks in my stomach why take this?
It's like glue, I guess. If you have ulcers, it treats that.
It also covers it so maybe it can act as a shield to other things around that might upset the lining
Hey doctor do you recommend for erosion and gastritis ?
It did mess up my stomach more, I have chronic erosive gastritis.
Have you heard of elm bark?
Does this help with phelgm in the throat also?
Will this help with the pain i get from eating with gastritis ? Over 2 years and im still suffering my specialist as not even mentioned this 😢
I think it will! None of my specialist ever recommended sulcrafate or brought it up. However doing my own research on a trip overseas in Japan lead me to a local drug store that had it. 5 years of indigestion i never felt such instant relief. Now I'm finding that in the USA it has to be prescribed?!? I'm convinced Western medicine is weak.
My mom pronounces it a different way. Interesting.
Can this medication make you lose weight?
Took that medicine for a few years Walgreens gave me a tainted medicine from them made me sick
Can I get this over the counter?
It may be a great drug, but it makes me horribly nauseated (taking as prescribed!), and really tired. Hate it.
