Generic name
Sucralfate
Brands
Carafate
Class
Mucosal protectant (aluminum complex)
Mechanism
Acts locally and forms an ulcer-adherent complex with proteinaceous exudate. A sucralfate-albumin film limits hydrogen-ion diffusion in vitro; the full ulcer-healing mechanism remains incompletely defined.
Used for
Short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer in adults, for up to 8 weeks; Maintenance therapy after acute duodenal-ulcer healing in adults
Hypersensitivity (contraindicated); Aluminum can accumulate and become toxic in chronic renal failure or dialysis; other aluminum-containing products increase exposure

Mechanism: Substituted benzimidazole that inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase (proton pump) of the gastric parietal cell, blocking the final step of acid secretion.
On both cards: Common side effects — Diarrhea; Nausea · Interactions — Warfarin
Only on the Omeprazole card: Used for — Short-term treatment of active duodenal or benign gastric ulcer in adults; H. pylori eradication with the specified antibiotics in adults with duodenal ulcer disease; Short-term symptomatic GERD or erosive esophagitis treatment, and maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis, in patients aged 2 years and older; Long-term treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions in adults · Common side effects — Headache; Abdominal pain; Flatulence · Warnings — Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis; C. difficile-associated diarrhea; Bone fracture with long-term use · Interactions — Clopidogrel; Rilpivirine, atazanavir, nelfinavir
Mechanism: Covalently binds the H+/K+ ATPase of the gastric parietal cell, suppressing the final step of acid production, basal and stimulated.
On both cards: Common side effects — Diarrhea; Nausea · Interactions — Warfarin
Only on the Pantoprazole card: Used for — Short-term healing and symptom relief of GERD-associated erosive esophagitis in adults and children aged 5 years and older; Maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis and reduction of heartburn relapse in adults with GERD; Long-term treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, in adults · Common side effects — Headache; Abdominal pain · Warnings — C. difficile-associated diarrhea; Bone fracture with long-term use; Vitamin B12 deficiency · Interactions — Rilpivirine-containing antiretrovirals; Methotrexate
Mechanism: Selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist; 5-HT3 receptors are on vagal nerve terminals and in the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
On both cards: Common side effects — Constipation; Diarrhea
Only on the Ondansetron card: Used for — Prevention of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in adults; pediatric use from age 4 years is established only for moderately emetogenic chemotherapy; Prevention of nausea and vomiting from the specified radiotherapy regimens in adults; Prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in adults · Common side effects — Headache; Malaise / fatigue · Warnings — Hypersensitivity incl. anaphylaxis; QT prolongation / torsade de pointes; Serotonin syndrome · Interactions — Apomorphine; Serotonergic drugs (SSRIs, SNRIs)
