How it works
Oxetacaine / Oxethazaine works by blocking pain signals from the peripheral nerves to brain which decreases the sensation of pain. Sucralfate forms a coating over the ulcer or any other raw surface. This creates a physical barrier that protects the ulcer/raw surface from the gastric acid or any other injury, allowing it to heal.
