Clinical Overview
Sucralfate (1g) and Oxetacaine (10mg) Suspension (per 10ml) combines a cytoprotective mucosal adherent with a potent local anesthetic. In the presence of gastric acid, sucralfate polymerizes into a viscous paste that selectively binds to positively charged proteinaceous exudates on ulcer craters, forming a protective physical barrier against acid, pepsin, and bile salts. Oxetacaine provides surface anesthesia to gastric and esophageal mucosa even in strongly acidic conditions (pH 1-2), delivering rapid relief from intense burning pain. Indicated for active gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, severe erosive esophagitis, and acute gastritis with severe epigastric pain.

Usage Guidelines
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each dose. Take 10 mL orally four times daily, 1 hour before meals and at bedtime on an empty stomach. Do not take antacids within 30 minutes before or after sucralfate.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Constipation (due to aluminum), dry mouth, nausea, indigestion, glossal numbness (from oxetacaine). Rare/Severe: Aluminum accumulation/osteomalacia in renal failure, and bezoar formation in patients with gastroparesis.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Take on an empty stomach for proper mucosal polymerization. May decrease bioavailability of co-administered medications (quinolones, phenytoin, digoxin); space other drugs at least 2 hours apart. Caution in chronic renal failure due to aluminum absorption.
