Carafate Tablets and Inomax

• Generic Name: sucralfate
• Dosage Forms: oral suspension, tablet
• Other Brand Names: Carafate

Carafate (sucralfate) is an anti-ulcer medication.

Carafate is not greatly absorbed into the body through the digestive tract. It works mainly in the lining of the stomach by sticking to ulcer sites and protecting them from acids, enzymes, and bile salts.

Carafate is used to treat an active duodenal ulcer. Sucralfate can heal an active ulcer, but it will not prevent future ulcers from occurring.

• Generic Name: nitric oxide
• Dosage Forms: gas, for inhalation
• Other Brand Names: Inomax

Nitric oxide is used together with a breathing machine (ventilator) and other agents to treat newborn (term and near-term) babies with respiratory failure that is caused by pulmonary hypertension.

Nitric oxide is a gas that is inhaled through the nose or mouth. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles to widen the blood vessels in the lungs.

This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
