Drug & supplement interaction

M1-4add + Sucralfate

Sucralfate brand names: Carafate, Antepsin.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between M1-4add and Sucralfate in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Sucralfate states a food rule worth keeping to.

M1-4add and Sucralfate

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Sucralfate and M1-4add in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for M1-4add at all — not against Sucralfate, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Sucralfate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves M1-4add. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Sucralfate’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Bloating or gas
  • Dry mouth
  • Back pain
  • Drowsiness
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Stomach upset

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Sucralfate. Read the label on DailyMed › M1-4add’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no M1-4add side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that M1-4add has no side effects.

Special populations

M1-4add in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Unsafe

How to take them

Some Sucralfate Products Have a Food Rule — M1-4add Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Sucralfate says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — M1-4add included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Sucralfate on its own and move M1-4add to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Sucralfate products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

D O S A G E A N D A D M INI S T R A T I O N A cti v e D u oden a l Ulc e r : The recommended adult oral dosage for duodenal ulcer is 1 g four times per day on an empty stomach.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Sucralfate — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Sucralfate

This page covers M1-4add only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Sucralfate page lists 17 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Sucralfate page

“If you take sucralfate (Carafate) to heal an ulcer, keep activated charcoal well away from it. Charcoal carries the sole major rating on this list because it adsorbs drugs in the digestive tract, and sucralfate works entirely there, forming a protective coating over damaged stomach lining rather than circulating through the body.”

About M1-4add

What is M1-4add?

"M1-4add" does not match any recognized dietary supplement, herb, or botanical that we can confidently identify. Because we cannot verify what this product is, we cannot describe its uses, safety, or dosing. Please check the product label and ingredient list, and talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using anything with this name.

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether M1-4add is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our M1-4add record says about it on its own.

M1-4add: dosing

There is no established or recognized dose for M1-4add because the product cannot be identified. Never assume a higher dose is safer or more effective.

About Sucralfate

What Is Sucralfate Used For?

Brand names: Carafate, Antepsin

Sucralfate — available as tablets and oral suspension under brand names including Carafate — is used for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) of active duodenal ulcers.

Carafate tablets and sucralfate tablets are also approved for maintenance therapy — meaning a lower dose taken after an ulcer heals to help keep it from coming back.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Sucralfate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (23,819 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking M1-4add and Sucralfate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take M1-4add with Sucralfate?
We do not list a known interaction between M1-4add and Sucralfate. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Should I take M1-4add and Sucralfate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Sucralfate says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Sucralfate on its own and move M1-4add to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Does Sucralfate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Sucralfate has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — M1-4add is not one of them. The Sucralfate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
