Sucralfate? Sulcrafate is a common misspelling of sucralfate.
Sucralfate (Carafate®) is only available by prescription and is licensed for treating ulcers that occur in the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). The medication comes in the form of tablets and an oral suspension. It is usually taken four times a day (to heal ulcers) or twice daily (to prevent the ulcers from recurring). The most common side effect of this drug is constipation.
