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
• Shields tissue from acid, bile, and enzymes
• Supports natural healing

Sucralfate has minimal systemic absorption.

Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine)

A local anesthetic that:

• Provides rapid topical pain relief
• Reduces burning and irritation
• Acts directly on gastric and esophageal lining
• Has minimal systemic absorption

Together, they address both tissue protection and symptom control.
