Sucralfate 500mg + Oxetacaine 10mg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is mainly used to treat and relieve pain from stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and irritation of the food pipe caused by acid reflux.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Treatment of gastric (stomach) ulcers
• Treatment of duodenal ulcers
• Relief of pain and discomfort caused by acid reflux or gastritis
• Protection of the irritated stomach or oesophagus lining

HOW IT WORKS

• Sucralfate forms a protective coating over the ulcer or damaged tissue, shielding it from acid and enzymes so it can heal
• Oxetacaine is a local anaesthetic that numbs the lining, giving fast relief from burning pain
• Together they provide both protection and quick symptom relief

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for general body pain or headaches
• Not a treatment for infections such as H. pylori (though it may be used alongside other medicines for ulcers caused by it)
• Not meant for long-term daily use without medical supervision
• Not used to treat vomiting or diarrhoea unrelated to acid or ulcer disease
