What is being: treated here? The carafate (sucralfate) and prilosec make sense,but I don''t know why the Pen Vk is being used.. Do you have an infection and your stomach is sensitive to penicillin,causing GI upset and burning/irritation, and the carafate (sucralfate) and prilosec are to reduce these symptoms?
