Oxetacaine
Oxetacaine (Mucosal Anesthetic) Oxetacaine (also known as Oxethazaine) is a potent local anesthetic designed for mucosal applications, especially for rapid relief of gastrointestinal pain. It acts locally on the lining of the esophagus and stomach, unlike systemic painkillers. Notably, it retains its effectiveness even in the acidic environment of the stomach, making it a “gold standard” for gastric pain relief.

Esophagitis: Soothes inflammation and pain caused by acid reflux in the esophagus. Hiatus Hernia: Helps manage pain and discomfort behind the sternum due to stomach displacement.
Administration of Oxetacaine Timing: Take just before bedtime or 15–30 minutes before meals for optimal effect. Do Not Dilute: If using a suspension, avoid mixing with water, as it may reduce the coating effect on the stomach lining. Shake Well: Always shake the bottle to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients. Correct Dosage: Follow the prescribed dose (5 ml or 10 ml). Taking more will not speed recovery.
Safety & Precautions Expert Tip: Avoid eating or drinking immediately after taking the dose to allow proper protective coating formation. Kidney Health: Use cautiously in chronic kidney disease, especially with magnesium or aluminium-containing combinations. Pregnancy & Lactation: Seek medical advice before use. Dosage Limit: Do not exceed prescribed limits (e.g., 2 teaspoons within 24 hours) without consulting a doctor.
