REALFATE-O:Sucralfate 1 gm + Oxetacaine 20 mg SUSPENSION is available in PET packing of 100 ml. General Physicians and Gynecologists prescribe this syrup to protect the flow of acid in the area of ulcers.
How Does It Work?
Sucralfate and Oxetacaine/Oxethazaine are two medications included in Realfate O Oral Suspension. The drug sucralfate is used to treat ulcers. To speed up recovery, it covers the damaged stomach ulcer tissue and shields it from harm or acid. Sucralfate is more effective than cimetidine and intensive antacid therapy. A local anesthetic called oxetacaine or oxethazaine has a numbing effect that quickly relieves pain from stomach ulcers or other acid-related injuries. Oxetacaine exerts prolonged anesthetic action on mucous membranes. It produces reversible loss of sensation by preventing or diminishing the conduction of sensory nerve impulses near the site of its application.
