Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carafate (sucralfate) acts as a physical barrier by binding to the ulcer and forming a protective coating, reducing further damage and allowing it to heal. Maalox and Mylanta are antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Pepcid is a histamine-2 blocker that reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. While these medications may be used to treat gastritis, they do not act as a physical barrier.
