Sucralfate, Oxetacaine Suspension

Description

Sucralfate and Oxetacaine Suspension -This suspension is the combination of the two drugs named Sucralfate and Oxetacaine Suspension that is used in the treatment of acidity, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. Sucralfate is a medication to treat ulcers. It covers the damaged ulcer tissue in the stomach and protects it from acid or injury to facilitate healing. Oxetacaine / Oxethazaine is a local anesthetic whose numbing effect provides fast relief from pain caused by ulcers or acidic injuries in the stomach.

Uses of Sucralfate and Oxetacaine Suspension

Sucralfate and oxetacaine are medicines that help relieve problems like stomach acid, heartburn, gas, and stomach sores. This suspension is a mix of two medicines: sucralfate, which helps heal ulcers, and oxetacaine, which numbs the area. Sucralfate helps by creating a protective layer over the ulcer, which prevents pepsin and bile from irritating it and stops stomach acid from spreading. This keeps the ulcer safe from stomach acid so it can get better. It protects the cells and creates a thick, sticky layer on the healthy lining of the intestines and stomach.

It also helps produce and release substances that protect the stomach lining and promote healing, as well as a growth factor that encourages the growth of new, healthy skin. On the other hand, Oxetacaine makes the area numb, which helps to relieve pain from stomach ulcers or acid damage. It still works well in very acidic conditions and lasts a long time as a pain reliever.
