Kevin, I think what the OP meant was that she uses zantac or pepcid in place of Carafate. However, what I didn't catch on the first time I read her post was that Kris said it was okay to use the Carafate at the same time as the amoxi/antibiotics. As far as I knew, the Carafate had to be given a certain amount of time before antibiotics, in order to not block the absorption - can anyone clarify? I know this is heading into the FML realm. I had a few emails sent to me in the past by owners who stated to give half an hour before meds or food, so that's what I am going by. Laryssa [Posted in FML 6316]
