A member asked:

Is the strength of plavix compromised when taking carafate (sucralfate) and zantac?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not associated with: Nexium and Prilosec are known to decrease the absorption of plavix. Dexilant, (dexlansoprazole) Protonix and prevecid have a much lower effect on plavix. There is no mention of zantac or carafate affecting the absorbtion of plavix.
