About Oxetacaine, Aluminum and Magnesium Gel
This medicine contains oxetacaine, aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that provides rapid relief from pain and burning in the stomach and food pipe. Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are antacids that work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, helping relieve acidity, heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.
Common side effects include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, chalky taste, and stomach discomfort. Some people may also experience bloating or dry mouths. Rarely, prolonged use may cause changes in mineral levels or kidney-related problems, especially in people with kidney disease.
Taking more than the recommended dose may increase the risk of electrolyte imbalance, severe constipation or diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. Seek medical advice if an overdose is suspected.
