Omeprazole with Sucralphate.

[dannymotherwell]

I have a hiatus hernia and take 40 mg Omeprazole daily along with peptic liquid before bed. I can go for weeks without an attack then for no apparent reason I can be sitting up all night with the pain. Recently on holiday I had bad reflux and a Dutch friend gave me a sachet of liquid Sandoz Sucralphate which seemed to magically stop the reflux. I was wondering if any other members have experience of using both drugs together. My pharmacist says Sucraphate is POM and needs my GP's agreement.

Thanks DM

Hi yes i take Lansoprazole gaviscon and Sucralfate. I can only get the liquid version from the hospital. I am 3 years post oesphagal cancer and suffered bad reflux and a lot of silent burping still get reflux on odd occasions but Sucralfate helps .

Best wishes

Thanks I spoke to my pharmacist who said sucralfate was old school and didn't think gp would prescribe. Sometimes the old ways still work. Will ask GP.

I use Nexium 40mg once a day and sucralohate morning and night, works a charm.

Thanks for your reply only had a few sachets from my friend which seemed to work although could just have been a coincidence. Will visit GP and ask for some to try over a longer period.
