OXETACAINE

Overview

Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) that helps relieve pain and discomfort in the stomach and throat. It’s usually used with antacids to treat problems like acid reflux, gastritis, and ulcers.

Classification
Local anesthetic
Uses
Oxetacaine is used to:
Soothe burning pain in the stomach (like in acidity or heartburn)

Reduce discomfort from gastritis or stomach ulcers

Ease throat irritation caused by acid reflux

Often combined with antacids to provide quick relief from stomach acid-related pain

How It Works
Oxetacaine works by numbing the stomach lining and throat, so you feel less burning or pain. It doesn’t reduce acid, but it makes the area less sensitive to irritation caused by acid or ulcers.
Dosage
As prescribed by your doctor.

Side effects
Oxetacaine is usually well tolerated, but some people may experience:
Nausea or vomiting

Mild diarrhea or constipation

Allergic reaction – signs include rash, itching, or swelling

Numb feeling in the throat or mouth

If taken in very large doses: Drowsiness, dizziness, or breathing problems
Precautions
Before or while using Oxetacaine, keep in mind:
Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems

Not usually recommended for children unless prescribed

Avoid alcohol and spicy foods while using it, as they can make symptoms worse

Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

Don’t use it for a long time without medical advice — it’s meant for short-term relief
