GASTALFET (CARAFATE) INDICATIONS

Gastalfet is indicated in:

  • Short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) of active duodenal ulcer. While healing with sucralfate may occur during the first week or two, treatment should be continued for 4 to 8 weeks unless healing has been demonstrated by x-ray or endoscopic examination.
  • Maintenance therapy for duodenal ulcer patients at reduced dosage after healing of acute ulcers.

Gastalfet is a gastric protective. It works by forming a protective layer on the ulcer to serve as a barrier against acid, bile salts, and enzymes in the stomach.
