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.
