Adjusting Dosage
Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on your individual needs and response to treatment. Children’s dosing differs significantly; consult your pediatrician for appropriate instructions. Missed doses should be taken as soon as possible, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Storage
Store Carafate suspension at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect from freezing. Discard any unused medication after its expiration date. Always check the label for specific storage recommendations.
