GI Protectant + Pain Relief for Feline Ulcers, Gastritis & Acid Reflux
Sucralfate & Oxetacaine Suspension is a veterinarian-prescribed oral medication used to protect the gastrointestinal lining and relieve pain in cats with gastric ulcers, esophagitis, gastritis, and acid reflux. It combines a mucosal protective agent (Sucralfate) with a local anesthetic (Oxetacaine) to support healing while reducing discomfort.
For veterinary use only.
What Is Sucralfate & Oxetacaine Suspension?
This dual-action oral suspension contains:
Sucralfate
A mucosal protectant that:
- Binds to ulcerated or inflamed GI tissue
- Forms a protective barrier over damaged areas

Sucralfate has minimal systemic absorption.
Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine)
