About

This suspension is a sophisticated combination antacid and local anesthetic, specifically formulated to provide comprehensive relief from symptoms associated with hyperacidity and gastric discomfort. It typically incorporates aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which are potent antacids that work by rapidly neutralizing excess stomach acid, thereby reducing acidity and preventing further irritation. Complementing this action is oxetacaine, a powerful local anesthetic that directly numbs the irritated mucosal lining of the esophagus and stomach, offering immediate and significant pain relief. This synergistic approach makes the medication highly effective in managing conditions such as gastritis, esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and general indigestion, where both acid reduction and prompt pain alleviation are crucial for patient comfort and promoting healing of the gastrointestinal tract. Its liquid form ensures quick onset of action and ease of administration.
