Folcain Gel Syrup is a mint-flavored antacid formulation containing Oxetacaine (10mg/5ml), Aluminium Hydroxide (0.291mg/5ml), and Magnesium (98mg/5ml). It is designed to provide fast and effective relief from acid reflux, heartburn, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. This combination works synergistically to neutralize excess stomach acid, coat the stomach lining, and provide local anesthetic effects to relieve pain and discomfort.
-
Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine): A local anesthetic that helps numb the stomach lining, reducing pain and irritation caused by acid reflux and ulcers. It provides a soothing effect on inflamed gastric tissues.
-
Aluminium Hydroxide: An antacid that neutralizes stomach acid and forms a protective layer over the stomach lining, helping in the healing of ulcers and preventing acid damage.
-
Magnesium Hydroxide: Acts as a neutralizing agent and mild laxative, helping in acid neutralization while preventing constipation, which is a common side effect of aluminium-based antacids.
Folcain Gel Syrup is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from gastric ulcers, acid indigestion, hyperacidity, and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). It helps to relieve burning sensation, bloating, and stomach discomfort by providing rapid action against excessive stomach acid.
This syrup is safe for short-term and long-term use under medical supervision. However, it should be used with caution in patients with kidney disease, electrolyte imbalance, or those taking other medications that may interact with antacids.
To maximize its effectiveness, Folcain Gel Syrup should be taken on an empty stomach or as directed by a healthcare professional. Avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods that may aggravate acid reflux.
