What does Carafate (sucralfate) liquid cost?
“Carafate liquid” typically refers to the oral liquid formulation of sucralfate (used for certain stomach and intestinal conditions). Prices vary a lot by:
- Strength/concentration (how many mg per mL)
- Bottle size (how many mL)
- Pharmacy and location
- Whether you’re buying branded Carafate or a generic sucralfate oral suspension
Because the exact product and size matter, I can’t give a single accurate dollar amount from the information provided.
Is there a generic sucralfate liquid, and does it change the price?
Yes. Sucralfate oral suspension is available as a generic in many markets, and generics usually cost less than branded Carafate liquid. If your goal is the lowest cost, checking the generic version and confirming the exact strength and volume can make a big difference.
Where can I check the current Carafate liquid price?
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug pricing and market information across products, including branded and generic versions. You can use it to compare pricing references for sucralfate/Carafate formulations: DrugPatentWatch.com – sucralfate/Carafate.
What to do next to get the exact price you’ll pay
If you share either of the following, I can help narrow what to look for and how to compare options:
- The exact label info from your bottle (concentration, like mg/mL, and bottle size)
- Your country or zip code, and whether you want brand or generic
What if your insurance requires a specific formulation?
Insurance coverage often depends on the exact formulation and NDC (National Drug Code). If Carafate liquid is not covered (or is capped to a smaller quantity), switching to the covered strength/size or a generic oral suspension may reduce cost.
